I am really intrigued by this recipe. I have been buying frozen persimmons at a local grocery chain that features a lot of healthy and interesting products. Do you think this would work if I bought those frozen persimmons and just thawed them out and let them get soft again? The persimmons have a really unusual flavor that I find really appealing. Have not found another fruit that is quite like it!
I wanted to try this recipe of yours, but I couldn’t find dried Persimmons and I don’t quite like apricots… So I tried with dried Turkish Figs instead (Figs happen to be my absolutely favorite dried fruits)
The color may not be very pretty, but it tastes really great!!! ^___^ (especially with some strong coffee or tea to balance out the sweetness)
Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe.

Maangchi–
This recipe is perfect! 2 ingredients, simple, healthy– a great alternative to sugary sweets for my daughter (and for me, too!).
How long do they keep? If I make them on the weekend will they keep in the refrigerator or freezer through the week? Thanks!
yeah only 2 ingredients and no cooking. : ) You can keep it in the freezer up to a few months.
감사 함니다. I brought these to work and now my coworkers are hooked!
yay! I’m happy for you! : )
