Ingredients
- 8 persimmons cut large dice
- 1/2 cup simple syrup see * Note
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Preparation
Step 1
* Note: To make simple syrup, boil 1/2 cup of water with 1/2 cup of sugar over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, about 1 minute. This will make a little more than 1/2 cup.
Place the diced persimmons in a food processor or blender and pulse or blend to puree. Pass the puree through a sieve into a bowl, pressing on it with the back of a spoon.
Combine the simple syrup and lemon juice. Add to the puree and mix well.
Freeze the puree in 2 batches in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's directions. This will be a very soft, creamy sorbet.
This recipe yields 5 cups for 10 servings.

Variation: You can make a granita if you don't have an ice cream maker. After pureeing the fruit and adding the syrup and juice, pour the mixture into a shallow metal pan. Freeze, scraping the mixture with a fork every 30 or 40 minutes, until somewhat firm, 3 to 4 hours.
