Prosciutto Wrapped Persimmons With Jalapeno

1.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Peel the persimmons and slice each one into eight slices.

2.

Cut the jalapeno in half, remove the seeds, and thinly slice, lengthwise, into 16 long strips.

3.

Being careful not to tear, slice the prosciutto slices in half lengthwise.

4.

Place a slice of persimmon and a slice of jalapeno at one end of a piece of prosciutto and tightly roll to the other end.

5.

Place the wrapped persimmons on a parchment-lined baking sheet and place in the oven.

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the prosciutto is golden and crisp.

Allow to cool before serving.

6.

Serve warm or at room temperature.

Note: these can be made a day in advance without baking.

Keep tightly wrapped or in an airtight container until ready to bake.
