Essential Ingredients
- 1 ripe Fuyu persimmon (choose a firm variety suitable for drying)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by carefully peeling the skin off your ripe persimmon. Slice the persimmon in half and remove all the seeds. Trim off the tough stem end as well. This prepares the persimmon for the drying process.
Step 2
Once peeled and deseeded, slice the persimmon into uniform pieces, about 0.5 cm thick. Place the sliced persimmon onto a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 120°C (250°F) for approximately 120 minutes. Low and slow baking helps to gradually remove moisture, resulting in a delightful chewy texture.
Step 3
After baking, your homemade dried persimmons will emerge with a deep, rich color and an irresistible sweet aroma. Let them cool slightly before enjoying. You can also store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator to savor their deliciousness for longer.
