Notes

Sweetener: Adjust maple syrup based on the sweetness of persimmon. Use less sweetener if persimmon is fully ripe and sweet or skip it completely if natural sweetness from fruit is sufficient.

Thickness: The cooked oatmeal should have a medium thick consistency. Remember that it thickens further as it cools.

Stir: Stir frequently while cooking to prevent it from sticking to the pan.
