Make the most of persimmons by making a Persimmon Syrup you can use for drinks, cocktails, desserts, and more! Persimmons are such a unique fruit but can be tricky to eat. Once they are ripe, turn them into a delicious fall-inspired syrup.

Equipment

Ingredients

2 ripe persimmons, diced or squeezed (I used Hachiya variety)
½ cup sugar
½ cup water
1 cinnamon stick

Instructions

Cut and hull the persimmons and place them in a small saucepan.
Add the water sugar, and cinnamon stick and bring to a boil. Stir and boil for 4-5 minutes and then remove from the heat.
Allow the syrup to steep until cool, about 1 hour.
Remove the cinnamon stick and strain the syrup through a fine-mesh strainer. Discard or use the sugary fruit pulp for something else (like a cocktail!). Place the syrup in a sealable container and store it in the fridge. The syrup will last for 4-5 days.
