Persimmons ??

[texas]

OK, I have had persimmons all my life, and I have eaten many in the late fall, but always fresh, and never preserved. The question I have is may a person make jelly out of them, or anything else ?? I am open to ideas, and recipes as well. Thank you in advance for any ideas..................Texas

Yep, Back in the olden days... Persimmmons were made into "sugar", preserves, jelly, cakes and pies.
Wife made a persimmon cake once. Too much work fooling with all the seeds and the cake got a little over done and dry so she said that was the last one. :-D

I bet it would make killer jelly/jam.

Yep, I was hoping for some jam, got a few on the trees , but I think it might be best to wait until frost hits them......Texas

I had some persimmon jelly and biscuits at an old ladies house we were helping plow up potatoes.That stuff was good but I couldn't tell you how she made them.
