Notes

**Sweetened Spiced Persimmon Pulp
  • 1/3 cup persimmon pulp, fresh or thawed
  • 1/3 cup sugar (use white so the color stays vibrant)
  • 2 cinnamon sticks,
  • 1 star anise
  • Juice from 1 mandarin orange
Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and let combine and steep for at least 2 hours. Once the cinnamon and anise flavors are at your level of preference, take out the cinnamon sticks and star anise and discard (or wash off and use for another infusion, tincture, or garnish.) Store in a clean container in the fridge for 7-10 days.
