I have a work buddy tell me about these black berry looking things fall off a small shrub like tree at his new house. I ask to bring me a few of them and I would identify them for them. After checking my books I have concluded they are Texas black persimmons. Now being a person with a hobby of making wine and meads has anyone made a wine or mead with them. I know these persimmons are very high in acid. So if anyone has a recipe or for a wine or mead with these fruits. If you wouldn't mind sharing it would be greatly appreciated.
