If before, dried persimmons were familiar to many families, the presence of a new dish - wind-hanging persimmons - has attracted the attention of more people. Wind-hanging roses are wind-dried roses and are usually only lightly dried. Thanks to that, the persimmon still retains its moisture and softness, and when enjoyed, the fragrance of the persimmon can still be clearly seen compared to dried persimmon. It can be said that hanging roses are a completely natural gift. Because only the natural sweetness resonates with the sun and air to produce delicious hanging persimmons.
Hanging persimmon is known as the most delicious of Da Lat's specialty jams, but the way to create this specialty makes many people "shocked" about the difficulty and feat. The first step is to choose roses. The selected persimmons must reach a certain level of ripeness. The persimmon is large, the skin is orange-yellow in color, the persimmon must be firm and must not be bitten or bruised by insects. In particular, persimmons must still have stems. After that, the persimmon is cleaned, drained and the skin is sweetened. Next, tie the string to the stem and tighten it. Then, choose a place that is ventilated and free from rain to dry the persimmons, and hang the persimmons on a string. On average, 7-8kg of fresh persimmons will produce a finished product of 1kg of hanging persimmons. After about 5-10 days, the persimmon will soften and gradually turn dark orange and brown. To make persimmons flexible and soft, farmers need to know how to gently "massage" the persimmons. Finally, after about 18 days, the persimmons are taken down from the trellis, and delicious hanging persimmons are harvested. To enjoy this type of persimmon, you should serve it with a cup of hot tea.
Coming to the foggy city, sitting in the middle of vast forests and mountains in the cold weather, sipping on a cup of coffee and enjoying a plate of persimmon hanging in the wind, what's better?
