Spiced Persimmon Preserves
Yields: 1½ cups
 
Ingredients
  • 1 pound slightly soft Fuyu persimmons, peeled and diced
  • ¼ cup sugar

  1. In a medium bowl, stir together persimmons and sugar. Let stand for 30 minutes.
  2. Transfer persimmon mixture to a medium saucepan. Add ¼ cup water and all remaining ingredients; cover and bring to a full boil over medium heat. Boil rapidly for 1 minute, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Uncover; reduce heat, and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
