Persimmon Bars With Lemon Glaze image

These are very sweet, which is why the bars are cut into small pieces, but the flavor is wonderful. There is a similar recipe on Zaar, but it has some differences and seems the method was giving reviewers a problem so I thought I'd post this as an alternative.
