Easy Pickled Persimmons

Persimmons are a delicious, sweet, and jammy textured fruit that is seasonally available from September through December. While they are often eaten fresh or used in baked goods, one unique and flavorful way to enjoy persimmons is by pickling them. Pickled persimmons offer a tangy and sweet flavor that pairs well with many dishes.

Ingredients for Pickled Persimmons

Before you begin pickling persimmons, gather the following ingredients:

• 4-5 firm Fuyu persimmons (thinly, evenly sliced, on a mandolin if you have one)
• 1 cup of apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup of water
• ½ cup of granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon pickling spice
• 1 teaspoon of salt

Pickling Instructions

1. Wash and dry the persimmons. Remove the stems and cut them into thin slices or wedges, depending on your preference.
2. In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, sugar, pickling spice, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar has dissolved.
3. Add the sliced persimmons to the saucepan and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the persimmons have softened slightly.
4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the pickling liquid cool for a few minutes.
5. Transfer the pickled persimmons and the liquid to a clean glass jar or container.
6. Seal the jar or container tightly and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to develop.
