Persimmon Bars With Lemon Glaze

"These are very sweet, which is why the bars are cut into small pieces, but the flavor is wonderful. There is a similar recipe on Zaar, but it has some differences and seems the method was giving reviewers a problem so I thought I'd post this as an alternative."

  1. Yummy! Delicious moist bars, perefct for Fall. Persimmon flavor is more pronounced than in other baked goods I've tried, and dates are a nice addition. The lemon glaze is very tart, mostly lemon juice, but it' really highlights the flavors in the bar. I used very ripe Fuyu persimmons and did not feel that these were overly sweet. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
     
  2. These are good! They are REALLY rich, though. Be sure to warn your guests that they are VERY SWEET! Definitely not for the diabetics or dieters, but very, very good. I'll make them again.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in central Idaho - home of pine trees and mountains. The photo is of my cat, Tommy. He adopted me when I moved into my current residence about 7 years ago. I work as office manager for a Real Estate company but spend my free time pouring thru recipes in search of something new and different. Baking has been my hobby since I was 9 years old and now as I rapidly approach 60, it's becoming an obsession! I have 3 married children and 13 grandchildren. My favorite cookbook is "Bach to the Kitchen" by the WA-ID Symphony league members. It is one of the best I've ever come across. I love to cook, eat, read, do crafts and spend time with my family. My pet peeve is people who can eat whatever they want and not gain weight!!! <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
