  4. Dice persimmons and segment mandarins, removing any seeds.
  5. Chop the apple last to prevent browning.
  6. Combine all fruits in a large mixing bowl.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk honey and lemon juice together to form a syrup.

  9. Garnish with mint leaves and serve immediately, or chill for up to 24 hours.

Notes

Use firm Fuyu persimmons for best texture. Add a sprinkle of cinnamon for warmth or slivered almonds for extra crunch. For best freshness, prepare just before serving.
