Freezer Persimmon Jam

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

Steps

1. Combine persimmon purée, sugar, lemon juice, orange zest, and nutmeg in a large saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to a boil and cook until slightly thickened, about 30 minutes.
2. Pack jam into sterilized freezer jars or containers, filling to within ½ inch of tops. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around insides of jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Seal jars. Set jam aside to cool. Store jam in the freezer.
