In heavy medium skillet over moderate heat, heat oil until hot but not smoking. Add onion and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes.

Add sherry vinegar, persimmons, and 1 cup water, then bring to boil and reduce by 3/4, about 8 minutes. Add currants and continue cooking until almost no liquid remains and currants are plumped, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in salt and pepper.
