Persimmon is a typical winter fruit in China's capital city. In the past, people often froze mature persimmons to keep them in storage. By putting the persimmons in slightly warm water to let the ice thaw, the flesh inside would become soft and sweet making them a delicious snack for any occasion. Persimmon trees are still easy to find in Beijing. When matured, the fruits hanging on the trees look like red lanterns. [Photo/IC]

柿子是北京冬天很常見(jiàn)的一種水果。在過(guò)去，人們經(jīng)常把熟柿子凍起來(lái)儲(chǔ)存。把凍柿子放在溫水當(dāng)中化凍，里面的果肉就會(huì)變得又軟又甜，不管什么時(shí)候吃都很好吃。柿子樹(shù)在北京隨處可見(jiàn)，到了柿子成熟的季節(jié)，滿樹(shù)的柿子看起來(lái)就像一個(gè)個(gè)紅燈籠。
