I’m so excited to try this recipe out. What other fruits can we use if persimmons are not available? Can we use apples, pears…etc?

[@Kimchimari]

You can try both apples or pear. It should work well although I have only tried adding pears. Just adjust to taste by adding some sugar if the fruits are not sweet enough. Good luck!
