Ingredients

  • 1 kg nearly ripe persimmons (peeled)
  • 100 g sugar
  • 200 g water
  • 1 cinnamon stick (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Persimmons
    Peel the persimmons and cut them in half. Set them aside.
  2. Make the Syrup
    In a saucepan, combine the water and sugar. Heat over low heat until the mixture begins to boil and the sugar is dissolved.
  3. Cook the Persimmons
    Add the persimmons and cinnamon stick (if using) to the syrup. Simmer gently for 10-15 minutes, taking care not to overcook, as the persimmons should remain intact.
  4. Cool and Store
    Turn off the heat, transfer the persimmons to a bowl, and let them cool. Store them in the refrigerator if consuming soon.
  5. For Long-Term Storage
    If you have a large batch, preserve them in jars:
    • Place the persimmons in sterilized jars and seal them tightly.
    • In a large pot, place a clean kitchen towel at the bottom and arrange the jars upside down on top.
    • Cover the jars with water and boil for 15-20 minutes.
    • Remove the jars, allow them to cool slightly, and tighten the lids. Store in the refrigerator.
