Ingredients
- 300g Dried Persimmons (seeds and stems removed)
- 300g Brown Sugar
- 250g Heavy Cream
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, carefully remove the hard stems and any seeds from the dried persimmons. Use a spoon to scrape out the flesh of the persimmon. If the skin is not too tough, finely chop it to add to the jam for a pleasant texture.
Step 2
In a wide pot, combine the prepared dried persimmon flesh and brown sugar. Turn the heat to low and stir continuously with a spoon for 7 minutes. It’s crucial to stir well to prevent lumps and ensure the persimmon and sugar meld together smoothly.
Step 3
Once the brown sugar has completely dissolved and is well incorporated with the persimmon, pour in the fresh heavy cream. Adding cream enhances the jam’s smooth texture and rich flavor profile. Continue to stir over low heat for another 3 minutes after adding the cream, allowing it to thicken to your desired consistency. Your delicious dried persimmon jam is now complete! Pour into jars while warm and let cool, or enjoy immediately.
