Gluten and Dairy Free Lemon Glazed Persimmon Bars
I don’t know what it is about persimmons and my family, but we love the sweet things! These Lemon Glazed Persimmon Bars are based off of an original recipe from my Grammie. However, this version was created without any of the dairy, refined white sugar or flour. It is always a victory for those of us with food allergies in my family to be able to indulge, once again in one of our favorite Holiday treats! I hope you enjoy these as much as we do! Cheers to happy baking and happy bellies, my friends!
