Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large ripe persimmons (Hachiya or Fuyu)
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups water
Instructions
Peel and seed the persimmons if necessary. Place the pulp in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth.
In a medium saucepan, combine the persimmon puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, water, and vanilla extract.
Stir the mixture well and place the saucepan over medium heat.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low.
Cook the persimmon butter, stirring frequently, for about 40-45 minutes or until the mixture thickens to a spreadable consistency. Be sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the pan while stirring to prevent sticking or burning.
Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and let the persimmon butter cool slightly.
Transfer the persimmon butter to sterilized jars or an airtight container. Allow it to cool completely before sealing and refrigerating.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for longer storage. Enjoy on toast, pancakes, or your favorite baked goods!
