I've discovered a couple of wild "native american" persimmon trees.
THey are full of small, golf-ball sized orange persimmons, which I
think are the original wild american version of the fruit.  A few years
ago there was an article in Natural History magazine extolling the
virtues of persimmons, and giving several recipes, but I don't know
where to find this article or issue anymore.

Please post or email any information that you might have on
preparation, baking, cooking, etc.  In particular, how does one
"efficiently" remove the top of the persimmon and get the seeds out?
