Mostly links for my reference. Although if anyone else has been talking to Tim you might find this useful.
Fuyu are the type I have, and the readily available type in australia. Either the ones I had weren't ripe yet, or they store a lot longer than
3 days at room temperature, more like 10 days.
They freeze well. Persimon cookies - 2 persimons pureed
Persimon paste - 1kg of puree (no pectin added)
Persimon Jam - 4 cups of pulp (8 persimons) (pectin)
Persimon Chutney - 12 persimons (also bundt cake and rice pudding, not that Iplan to try those)
Persimon tart (flip & caramelise) - 2 persimons
Rocket & Procuto wrapped persimon salad - 2 persimons - must buy proscuto!
None of these recipies made yet, but pulp frozen and a make it up as I go along persimon tart made.
