American Persimmon (Diospyros Virginiana) Preserve

Homemade American Persimmon Preserve

Homemade American persimmon preserve turns autumn fruit into golden joy. First, you peel and chop the ripe persimmons. Then, you simmer them with sugar, water, and lemon. After an overnight rest, you boil again until syrup thickens. The result is warm, rich, and fragrant. Each jar tastes like tradition, and it warms your soul.

Ingredients
● 1 kg persimmons (peeled)
● 900 g sugar
● 50 gr water

Directions
Wash the persimmons, peel and slice in half.
Put the fruit in a large pot with the sugar and water and boil for 15 minutes.
Cover the pot and leave it overnight to release their juices.
In the morning, using a slotted spoon remove the persimmons from the pot and put them in a bowl.
Next, put the pot on medium heat and boil until the syrup has thickened.
When the syrup still needs about 5 minutes to be ready, add the persimmons and boil all together.
Allow it to cool and if the syrup is still too runny, boil for a little longer until it reaches the desired consistency.
