Persimmon jam

1 kg (35 ounces) persimmon flesh, peeled and cut in 1/4″ cubes
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup lemon juice
3 1/3 cups sugar (755 grams)

Peel and cut the persimmons in small cubes. Remove a bit of core as needed. These cook down beautifully and quickly in the microwave.

Add all ingredients to a pan and cook until jammy. [10-12 minutes or so.]

Adjust lemon juice as needed while cooking.

Jam can be kept in the fridge for a while, or put it through a water bath for longer storage.

2024 Very good, easy. Used 1 lb prepared fruit (8 medium persimmons), and 40% of everything else.
Yield: just over 1 pint.
