To extract the pulp, wash and cut the persimmons into halves. Use a spoon to remove the seeds if any, then scoop out the flesh into a blender or food processor. Pour the blended puree through a sieve and use the back of a spoon to extract the flesh. You can also peel them by using a small knife or potato peeler, just like you would with tomatoes. This method works best for persimmons which are not too ripe.
