Honey spiced apple and persimmon with whipped cream

I was really delighted that friends are coming over for dinner. With starter cocktails, main courses and it was missing a dessert! The night must end with something sweet in remembrance of the wonderful night. I ransacked my 2 fridges and decided to make this. Its really easy!

Ingredients: (makes 4-6)
1 apple - skinned and chopped to small cubes
10g caster sugar
1 pinch cinnamon
10ml red wine vinegar
5ml balsamic vinegar
10ml honey
1 ripe persimmon - skinned and chopped to small cubes
150ml whipping cream
creme de cassis

Procedure:
  1. Cook apple with the 2 vinegars, sugar and cinnamon in low heat until all liquid absorbed and the apple is soft. Add honey and stir. Add water to continue to cook if not soft enough. Make sure all liquid is absorbed.
  2. Add in the persimmon and stir till mixed and place mixture in the fridge for 1 hour when cooled.
  3. Whip the whipping cream till stiff peaks.
  4. Place a dash of cassis in the glass, followed by the fruit mixture and top up with whipped cream.

note:

  • ml = grams
