4 Fuyu persimmons, peel and cut in half crosswise
¼ cup honey
3 tbsp butter, melted, divided
1 tbsp lemon juice
1⁄2 tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp allspice
1⁄8 tsp ground ginger
1⁄8 tsp sea salt
1 cup hot water

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of butter.
Peel and cut the tops off of the persimmons, cut them in half crosswise. Place cut side up in baking dish.
In a small bowl, combine honey, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, lemon juice, cinnamon, allspice, ginger and salt. Add hot water and stir until dissolved. Pour mixture over fruit.
