Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 lbs fresh persimmons 10-12 large Fuyu or 11-12 cups sliced
  • 1-2 cups granulated sugar adjust to taste
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup fresh lemon or lime juice
  • Optional: 1 tsp citric acid dissolved in 1/4 cup water as lemon juice substitute

Method
 

  1. Sterilize jars and prepare canning equipment.
  2. Wash persimmons, remove tops, slice into 1/4-inch slices (yield 11-12 cups).
  3. Place persimmons in a heavy pot with lemon juice. Heat over medium, stirring often.
  4. Cook 15 minutes, mashing fruit until softened.
  5. Add sugar and stir until dissolved. Cook 20-30 minutes, stirring often, until thick and glossy.
  6. Test doneness on a cold plate—jam should hold shape.
  7. Ladle into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Process in boiling water bath for 10 minutes or cool and refrigerate.

Notes

Use Fuyu persimmons for best results. Maintain proper acidity with lemon juice or citric acid for safe preservation. Stir frequently to prevent scorching.
