I picked some up for use at my oriental feast, and they appear to have
been dried, something like how peaches, apricots, etc. are done.  You
might even try doing something like that.

Canned persimmons are ....well...they
are slimy yucky mush. :-) If you want
 to preserve them for future
use it is far better to freeze them. Indeed,
 persimmons are much better
flavored and have a better texture after a good
 freeze.
