Ingredients

5 cups pureed persimmons
3 cups white sugar
0.25 cup fresh lemon juice
0.5 teaspoon grated orange zest
1 pinch ground nutmeg

Instructions

In a large saucepan, mix together the persimmon purée, sugar, lemon juice, orange zest, and nutmeg. Place over medium-high heat, bring to a boil, and let it cook for about 30 minutes, or until the jam has slightly thickened.
Carefully pack the jam into sterilized freezer jars or containers, leaving about ½ inch of space at the top. Use a clean knife or thin spatula to gently remove any air bubbles from the insides of the jars. Wipe the rims clean with a damp paper towel. Seal the jars tightly and let the jam cool completely before storing it in the freezer.
