Mark,
We have dried persimmons several times. We slice them (maybe 1/8 to 1/4 inch
thick) and use an electric dehydrator. Whatever causes the astringency in
unripe Hachiya must be destroyed by this process, as even very firm fruit
(which is the only kind you can really slice!) comes out tasty. They keep
their beautiful color and if you slice parallel to the calyx, have a nice
star shape in the center.
