PERSIMMON JAM

Steps:

• Remove the green tops from the persimmons and carefully peel the fruit. Chop the flesh and place in a sauce pot along with the lemon juice.
• Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Use a potato masher or fork to help break down the fruit as it cooks. Cook for 10-15 minutes until reduced and thickened.
• Add the ground chia seeds and vanilla bean paste (if using), Stir to combine and let cook another 2 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and transfer to a blender. Blend until smooth then pour into jam/jelly jars to cool. Alternatively, you can use an immersion blender to puree directly in the sauce pot.
• Store jam in jars with tight fitting lid in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

PERSIMMON JAM

Steps:

• Slice persimmons into small chunks and remove stems and seeds.
• Add persimmons and lemon juice to a small saucepan and cook on low for a few minutes until persimmons begin to release their juices. Use a potato masher to help speed the process along.
• Once they've fallen apart, add sugar and cook over medium-low heat until the jam thickens. Test for consistency on a plate in the freezer.
• When the consistency is right, pour into prepared canning jars leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Process in a water bath canner for 10 minutes, and then turn off heat and leave the jars in the canner for an additional 5 minutes. Remove jars to the counter and allow them to cool.
• Check seals, and store any unsealed jars in the refrigerator for immediate use.
