Mom has a whole mess of persimmon trees.  So I asked.  She said that she
cooks them down and puts them through a seive to remove the seeds & skins
and then FREEZES it in bags of 1-2 cups each.  She said she would not
recommend canning the puree.  She then thaws the bags out as she needs
them to make cookies, bread, etc.
