Rum Flavored Persimmon Puree

Instructions

1. Peel the persimmon, and finely chop with a knife (you could also blend in a food processor to your desired consistency).
2. Combine the ingredients in a large (deep) heatproof container, and microwave at 500 W for a minute without plastic wrap.
3. Stir and microwave for 1 more minute, add mango puree and it's done.
4. (Depending on the ripeness of the persimmons, you may need to microwave 2-3 more times).
5. Depending on the size and the finished product, you could use it as compote or as jam.
6. Please check out my recipe, "Fall Dessert: Persimmon Tiramisu Mousse".
7. [Note] I couldn't wait until it ripened, so I used a somewhat hard persimmon and turned it into jam.
8. For your reference, it took 6 minutes in the microwave.
9. This is with sliced baguettes with mascarpone and the puree.
10. The sweetness couldn't beat a fully ripened persimmon, but it was still delicious.
11. I made this in a pot instead of a microwave.
12. I used a large fully ripened persimmon and simmered for 10 minutes.
13. [Edits on the procedure] I added in the mango puree in a revision.
14. This is the puree served on top of a frozen tart.
15. It goes well with rum soaked raisins or chocolate chips.
