Persimmon Crème Brûlée Yields: 8 servings Cook Time: 50 minutes Ingredients 4 cup heavy cream 2 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1 1/2 cup sugar 2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 12 large egg yolks 1 large ripe persimmon, peeled and sliced 1/4-inch thick Instructions Heat the oven to 300 degrees F. Place eight 6-ounce crème brûlée dishes in a roasting pan; set aside.  In a medium saucepan, heat the cream, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and 1/2 cup sugar over medium heat just to a simmer and remove from the heat.  Stir in vanilla and cool to room temperature.  Whisk the egg yolks with 1/2 cup sugar in a large bowl.  Gently whisk the cream mixture into the yolk mixture.  Pour the custard into the dishes and transfer to the oven’s middle rack.  Pour hot water into the roasting pan until it reaches halfway up the side of the dishes.  Bake until set but still jiggly in the center — about 50 minutes.
