How to Make Lemon Glazed Persimmon Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves.
  5. In a separate bowl, puree 1 cup ripe persimmons until smooth.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the persimmon puree, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  7. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped walnuts.
  8. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  10. Let cool completely in the pan before glazing.
  11. For the glaze: Whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons lemon juice until smooth. Add more lemon juice, 1 teaspoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
  12. Drizzle glaze over the cooled bars and let it set before cutting into squares.
