Alternatives to Persimmon Jam

Add 10% dark chocolate or cocoa powder.

Flavor with cinnamon, Tonka bean, chili pepper, vanilla, or ginger.

Enhance with rum or another liqueur.

Storage

The persimmon jam thickens very quickly as it cools, and the longer it sits, the harder it becomes, which also increases the puckering effect of the tannins, so it is definitely better to consume it shortly after preparation.

Once a jar is opened, store it in the refrigerator and use it within about ten days.
