SPICED PERSIMMON BUTTER



Spiced Persimmon Butter image

Cooked in a slow cooker, this is an easy and excellent way to use the fruit of a Fuyu persimmon tree. Spicy and full of natural sweetness, the jars make wonderful gifts or keep well in the refrigerator for one's own use. This spread is used just like jelly or apple butter and it is especially delicious on a hearty whole grain toasted bread.

Time 10h40m

Yield 64

Number Of Ingredients 6

20 ripe Fuyu persimmons, peeled and coarsely chopped
1 lemon, juiced
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ cup agave syrup
4 half-pint canning jars with lids and rings

Steps:

  • Place persimmons into a slow cooker; amount should fill a 3-quart cooker nearly to the top. Drizzle the lemon juice over the persimmons, cover the cooker, and cook on High for about 2 hours. Mash the persimmons in the cooker with a potato masher. Stir in the cinnamon, cloves, and agave syrup, set the cooker to Low, and cook uncovered 8 hours or overnight. Stir several times if possible, to prevent burning during the long cooking period.
  • In the morning, transfer the persimmon mixture to a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the persimmon butter moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth. If you have an immersion blender, you can puree the persimmon butter right in the cooker if desired.
  • Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the persimmon butter into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings. Allow the jars to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate the jars; persimmon butter will keep for several weeks.

Tips:

  • To select the best persimmons, look for fruits with a deep, vibrant color and no blemishes. Avoid any persimmons that are bruised or soft.
  • If you're using firm persimmons, you can ripen them by placing them in a paper bag with an apple or banana for a few days. This will help to soften the fruit and bring out its natural sweetness.
  • To make the spiced persimmon butter, start by peeling and coring the persimmons. Then, simply combine the fruit with the spices, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the persimmon butter has thickened.
  • Once the persimmon butter has thickened, you can transfer it to a food processor or blender and puree until smooth. If you prefer a chunky persimmon butter, you can leave it as is.
  • Store the persimmon butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. You can also freeze the persimmon butter for up to 6 months.

Conclusion:

Spiced persimmon butter is a delicious and versatile spread that can be enjoyed on toast, crackers, or even as a dip for fruit. It's also a great way to use up leftover persimmons. With its unique flavor and smooth texture, spiced persimmon butter is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
