It's not very old yet so doesn't bear much fruit, but certainly enough for some crumbles and pies!Beverleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14248673694430665795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957058303175978721.post-777401260671055872014-01-18T08:28:22.864+00:002014-01-18T08:28:22.864+00:00I'm really sorry about the delay in getting ba...I'm really sorry about the delay in getting back to this post, sorry Galina. I used a recipe that I found on Cookaround (Italian). 2 kg of persimmon, 1kg sugar, the juice of 1 grapefruit and 1 apple. Wash, cut and mash the persimmon, skin on, in a heavy pan with the apple and grapefruit juice. Bring to the boil and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Pass through a sift,still piping hot, then back into the pan. Add the sugar and stir until it melts, then increase the heat and boil as you would with any jam. Not having a themometer means it's the 'cold plate test' for me!

I have been making all kinds of jam and jelly myself lately, and one thing I always avoid is adding commercial pectin or preserving sugar. There is just no need too as you say, if you get a little help from apples! My latest creation is persimmons and apple (cachi over here as you know!), and I'm still making quince jelly using your recipe (some mixed with pomegranate). So much tastier than shop bought and there is no end to the mixture of flavours than can be obtained. I'm tempted to use your apple jelly recipe here with lime, mmm.Bruna Deriunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957058303175978721.post-24076816605501827662013-10-23T09:57:39.680+01:002013-10-23T09:57:39.680+01:00Just made some blackberry & apple jam - Was wo...Just made some blackberry & apple jam - Was wondering how to use rest of apples - Think will try this!
