Equipment

  • Small saucepan, food processor

Ingredients

  • 6 Fuyu Persimmons
  • ½ cup raw sugar
  • ½ cup lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

  • Peel and dice the Fuyu persimmons.
  • Place the persimmons in a food processor and grind until smooth.
  • Place the persimmon puree, sugar, lemon juice and zest in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Notes

1)This is good in the fridge for a week. 
2) You can freeze this in freezer bags or jars.
3) If you feel it needs to be thickened you can dissolve 1 Tablespoon of cornstarch into 2 Tablespoons of water, then pour the mixture into the jam. If you feel it needs to be thinned out, you can add more lemon juice or just a bit of water and whisk.
