Thoroughly wash the persimmons, then slice them thinly.
In a large saucepan, combine the water, vinegar, salt, and sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring until the ingredients are completely dissolved.
Peel and halve the garlic cloves. Place the bay leaves, mustard seeds, black peppercorns, and cloves at the bottom of a sterilized jar.
Arrange the persimmon slices in the jar, layering them with the spices and garlic.
Pour the hot sweet and sour brine into the jar, ensuring that it completely covers the persimmon slices.
Let the jar cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 48 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
The sweet and sour pickled persimmon slices are ready! Serve them on their own, with cheeses, or as part of a salad.
