Persimon and White Chocolate Muffins

It's movie night tonight, so what better excuse to bake muffins.
Today I have put white chocolate chips with the newly discovered sharon fruit/persimon, and they taste good. 

In a large bowl mix together:

375g self-raising flour

220g caster sugar

In a small bowl mix together:

90g melted butter

three quarters cup sour cream

2 large eggs

Mix the wet into the dry then stir in:

half cup diced peeled persimon

100g white chocolate chunks

Divide the mixture between 12 muffin cases

Bake on Gas 5/6 for 20-25 minutes

Leave in the try for a few minutes before removing onto a wire rack to cool

Persimon Muffins

Here's a new one on me - well that's what I thought until my daughter showed up and reminded me that I'd tried to make her eat weird and exotic fruit, including this one, when she was a little girl - when they first invented it!!

Anyway I saw a pack of persimon and thought I'd see what they tasted like. I recognised them once I turned them the right way up, and was pleasantly suprised with how sweet they taste. I used one and half persimon to make the muffins, so I'll just have to eat the rest au natural.
