How To Make Persimmon Jam
Sweet and versatile, this persimmon jam just needs four ingredients. You can then use it to add flavor to cakes and toasts.
Ingredients
- 6 large persimmons, (peeled)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 lemon, (juiced)
- 2 tbsp water
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
Instructions
-
Make sure ripe persimmons are used.
-
Clean persimmons, peel, and discard any seeds. Puree the fruit using a food processor. There should be between 1½-2 cups of puree.
-
Peel the persimmons, chop and place in a food processor. Pulse until it becomes a smooth puree.
-
Transfer persimmon puree into a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and add the sugar. Boil for 15 minutes on medium heat, stirring occasionally.
- In a small bowl, mix water and corn starch until the cornstarch is dissolved. Add the mixture to the persimmon puree followed by the lemon juice and boil on low - medium heat for another 15 minutes, (stirring occasionally), or until slightly thickened.
-
For a thicker jam, add another round of cornstarch and water mix. Just don't add the cornstarch directly, it will create lumps if not dissolved with water first.
-
Let the jam cool down to room temperature.
-
Pour into sterilized jars and seal, store in the freezer.
-
Or pour into mason jars, that can be closed airtight and store in the refrigerator for immediate consumption for up to 7 to 10 days.
