Jiro persimmon freezer jam

I made this on @Fusion_power 's request.

I took some of our softer fruits and cut them in half horizontally, then scooped the insides into a blender. Afterwards I pureed the fruit.
Next I mixed in 1 Tbsp of lemon juice per cup of puree and poured the liquid into 1/2 pint jars, leaving at least a half inch of headroom for frozen expansion.
After settling on the counter for 1/2 hour, into the deep freeze (0 F) they went.
I’ll start checking them out in a month or so.

Wonder if it would make good flavored persimmon ice cream?

Been thinking of making ice cream, got a few that are ripening (store bought). Just tried freezing one, then letting it thaw in the fridge, definitely liked the cold gooey mess.

Each year I make ground cherry ice cream, make a jam and add to the ice cream maker as it churns. Really tasty.

I’d call that puree. I’m interested to follow how this unfolds :slight_smile:

When we visited Englands Orchard we got to try some pawpaw ice cream that was delicious.

The recipe was quite simple too.

50% paw paw pulp
25% vanilla yogurt
25% cool whip

I bet you could substitute pawpaw for persimmons, peaches, berries, etc…
