Homemade Persimmon Jam!

Today we're trying out a persimmon recipe! My family usually doesn't cook them but we had TONS of them and I wanted to see how it would taste as a jam so I followed the following recipe from:
https://sweetandsavorymeals.com/easy-...

Ingredients:
• 6 very ripe persimmons (peeled, I think mine are Fuyu persimmons)
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 lemon (that's been juiced)
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions:
1.Puree/mash persimmons with sugar and in a pot turn it to medium-high heat. Stir occasionally for 15 mins. (People have recommended to boil longer to reduce water content or it will end up watery like the final product, then you won't have to add cornstarch either apparently)
2.Mix cornstarch & water until dissolved. Then mix with lemon juice.
3.Turn pot to low-medium heat & add in the lemon-cornstarch-water. Leave for 15 mins.
4.Turn off heat and leave until room temperature, then pour into 500mL mason jar & store in fridge for about 10 days.
