Directions
Fill a steamer or large pot with ripe persimmons & heat very gently or steam for ½ hour until fruit is pulpy. Press the pulp through a strainer & measure the volume. For every 2 quarts of persimmon pulp add ½ pint orange juice & 1½ quarts sugar. Pour the mixture into a heavy pan or jelly pan & simmer uncovered for ½ hour, stirring every 10 minutes. When the mixture begins to thicken remove from the heat. Stir in ¼ cup brandy for each quart of marmalade. Pour into sterile jars & seal. Cool before storing.
