Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 whole ripe persimmons (Hachiya or Fuyu)
- 4 whole tangerines
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cups water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Peel the persimmons and chop them into small chunks.
Juice the tangerines and set aside approximately 1/2 cup of fresh tangerine juice.
In a medium saucepan, combine the persimmon chunks, tangerine juice, water, and honey.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and salt to the saucepan. Stir well to evenly distribute the flavors.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the persimmons are soft and the mixture has thickened slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Use an immersion blender or transfer the mixture to a countertop blender to purée until smooth. Be cautious of hot liquids if blending immediately.
Taste and adjust sweetness or acidity as needed—add more honey for sweetness or lemon juice for tanginess.
Transfer the sauce to a clean jar or airtight container. Let it cool completely before storing in the refrigerator.
