Description

This freezer persimmon jam recipe is made with puréed persimmons, sugar, lemon juice, orange zest, and nutmeg, sealed in jars, and stored in the freezer.

Ingredients

• 5 cups pureed persimmons

• 3 cups white sugar

• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

• 1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest

• 1 pinch ground nutmeg

Directions

1 Combine persimmon purée, sugar, lemon juice, orange zest, and nutmeg in a large saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to a boil and cook until slightly thickened, about 30 minutes.
