Directions
Warm the mashed persimmons in a saucepan over medium heat. Once they’re heated through, add in the apple, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Give everything a good stir to combine. Bring the mixture up to a gentle boil, then lower the heat to medium-low and let it simmer. Keep an eye on it and stir occasionally until it thickens to your liking and the flavors meld together nicely—this usually takes about 10 to 15 minutes. When it’s done, take it off the heat and let it cool a bit before serving.

Storage Guide
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave before serving. Avoid freezing, as the texture of the fruit may change.
