Can I use a Hachiya persimmon instead of Fuyu?

Yes, but Hachiya persimmons must be fully ripe and extremely soft (custard-like) before eating to avoid an astringent, dry taste. Fuyu is firmer and easier to peel and steam.

How long does this fruit compote last?

You can store this puree in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze it in an ice cube tray for up to 2 months.

Celebrate autumn with this naturally sweet, belly-soothing steamed persimmon and apple puree, perfectly portioned and easy to digest for babies and toddlers.

If your persimmon is already extremely soft and ripe, you can steam just the apple and blend the raw persimmon in afterwards to preserve its natural texture.
