Dried Persimmon

Got-gam are persimmons that are hung and dried for weeks at the end of fall and into winter—they become a deliciously dense, sugary treat with an intense, jammy fruitiness. That white powder is all natural sugars from within the fruit. Think of these as an all-natural candy that Koreans have been making for hundreds of years. There’s even an old folktale called “The Tiger and the Dried Persimmon” about a tiger who mistakes a got-gam for a fearsome beast after it overhears a mother hush her bawling baby with the dried fruit.
