Ingredients

  • 3 whole ripe persimmons (Hachiya or Fuyu)
  • 4 whole tangerines
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.25 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 0.25 teaspoons salt

Directions

Step 1

Peel the persimmons and chop them into small chunks.

Step 2

Juice the tangerines and set aside approximately 1/2 cup of fresh tangerine juice.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, combine the persimmon chunks, tangerine juice, water, and honey.

Step 4

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 5

Add the ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and salt to the saucepan. Stir well to evenly distribute the flavors.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the persimmons are soft and the mixture has thickened slightly.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 8

Use an immersion blender or transfer the mixture to a countertop blender to purée until smooth. Be cautious of hot liquids if blending immediately.

Step 9

Taste and adjust sweetness or acidity as needed—add more honey for sweetness or lemon juice for tanginess.

Step 10

Transfer the sauce to a clean jar or airtight container. Let it cool completely before storing in the refrigerator.
