Step 1
Start by warming the mashed persimmons in a saucepan over medium heat. Once they're heated through, add the chopped apple, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Give everything a good stir to combine. Bring the mixture up to a gentle boil, then lower the heat to medium-low. Let it simmer, stirring occasionally, until the compote thickens and the flavors meld together nicely—this usually takes about 10 to 15 minutes. When it looks thick and fragrant, it’s ready to enjoy!
