Instructions

  1. Make sure you use ripe persimmons. 
  2. Peel the persimmons, chop them, and place them in a food processor. Pulse until you are left with a smooth puree.
  3. Transfer persimmon puree into a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and add the sugar. Boil for 15 minutes on medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  4. Mix water and cornstarch until the cornstarch is dissolved. Add the mixture to the persimmon puree, followed by the lemon juice, and boil on low - medium heat for another 15 minutes (stirring occasionally) or until slightly thickened.
  5. Add another round of cornstarch and water mix if you want the jam thicker. Don't add the cornstarch directly; it will create lumps if not dissolved with water first.
  6. Let the jam cool down to room temperature.
  7. Pour into sterilized jars and seal, boil, cool, and store.
  8. Or pour into mason jars that can be closed airtight and stored in the refrigerator for immediate consumption for 7-10 days.
