This Fuyu Persimmon Preserve is a little sweet, a little tart, and simply perfect on buttered toast. Unlike my delicious persimmon jam recipe, this yummy preserves has a chunkier, almost pudding-like texture that can also be served as a topping!

Every year I get Hachiya persimmons from my friend, Roselyn. I use them to make persimmon jam and persimmon bread.

Recently, Scott brought home limes and Fuyu persimmons from a friend at work. Since Id never tried Fuyu persimmons, I was really excited to try them. And as you can see, so was Mr. Whiskers!

Fuyu persimmons have a firm texture that can be compared to a juicy mango. Similar to an apple, the thin skin is edible, however, some people prefer to peel them before eating them. Personally, I dont mind the skin or the extra fiber it provides!

I have now made this recipe a few times. Ive tried it both with peeled and unpeeled persimmons. Although I like it both ways, if youre bothered by a rough texture, you may want to peel them first.[feast_advanced_jump_to]

Preserving Fuyu Persimmons

FAQ

What is the best way to preserve persimmons?

The most common method of preserving astringent and non-astringent persimmons is to dry them. Dehydrating astringent persimmons also removes the astringency. To dry persimmons in an electric food dehydrator, select firm persimmons and wash them under running water, patting them dry with a paper towel.

Can you freeze Fuyu persimmons for winter?

Fuyu persimmons freeze well and, like peaches, they make a nice accompaniment to ice cream. Making a simple syrup in which to freeze them helps to preserve their appearance and texture, making sure they look as good as they will taste when you present them for a family treat.

Can Fuyu persimmons be dried?

Both Hachiya and Fuyu make delicious dried persimmon slices! However, keep in mind that the fruit needs to be firm enough to cut into thin slices. So if you’re using Hachiya persimmons, use ones that are fully orange but not yet soft (less ripe than you’d choose for eating fresh).
