1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¹⁄₂ teaspoon ground cardamom

Use an immersion blender or upright blender to puree the persimmons and their cooking liquid.
Strain into a crockpot using a fine mesh sieve. Stir in the remaining ingredients and cook on low until thickened to your liking, about 4 hours. Alternately, simmer on the stove, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
