Persimmons

I got persimmons in my fruit box. Google told me that they were the type that need to be ripe - and today I tried the one that had ripened. OMG it was so sweet - like pure sugar and far too sweet for me. I have another three that aren’t ripe yet. What can I do with them to counter that sweetness?

I haven't tried them but have seen recipes for persimmons muffins
alternatively would adding to a natural yoghurt make a less sweet dessertLife shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage - Anais Nin2 -
Mix into a fruit salad with something sharp like oranges / pineapple / redcurrants?
Its a bit of a weird fruit IMO, I don't quite see the point of it.No man is worth crawling on this earth.
So much to read, so little time.1 -
Update. For anyone else struggling not o throw away this pointless fruit (Rosa-damascene is right on the money with that description) I waited until they were very ripe and turned them into a spiced cake, based on this (but without the milk as it made a very slack batter). http://www.nutmegsseven.co.uk/blog/tmegsseven.co.uk/2012/02/daring-bakers-persimmon-and-walnut.html
still very sweet but the spice and walnuts make the sweetness bearable.0
