The Holiday season will shortly be upon us and that, of course, means plenty of eating, drinking and merrymaking.

My favourite part of all that is enjoying a wide variety of Hors d’oeuvres and appetizers. I enjoy tasting bursts of flavour packaged in an elegant small bite.

Today I’m sharing with you a recipe featuring persimmons, a deliciously sweet fruit available only between September through December. It is marinated for a hint of acid and paired with creamy goat cheese, salty but delicate prosciotto and a hint of fresh basil, all coming together on delicious Nairn’s Oat Crackers.

Nairn’s Oat Crackers and Cookies are available in Canada in a variety of delicious flavours that are all made from wheat free recipes with whole grain oats. Not only are they high in fibre, but they also contain zero trans or hydrogenated fats, and absolutely no GM ingredients, artificial colours, flavourings or preservatives.  There is also a new gluten-free variety available.

The Nairn’s Oat Crackers have a lovely toasted oat flavour that is equally good as is for as a vehicle for toppings.   They really are a perfect canvas for other flavours.  Their unique crunch and flavour make these so satisfying. A perfect contrast to the other ingredients in this appetizer recipe.

  33. I’ve only ever tried persimmon once and it was bitter however then someone else at the meal said that they weren’t ripe and I must say this looks wonderful so I might risk trying them again 🙂
