Wild persimmon recipes?

We Answered:

OMG! I haven't had persimmon's since I moved away from Indiana. We used to go out in the fall to the woods and pick up as many persimmons as we could. Then we would bring them home and make a puree out of them to make several different recipes. We made Persimmon pudding, persimmon cookies and persimmon bread. Here are the recipes:

Persimmon Bread

Ingredients:
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup persimmon pulp
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup raisins

Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Oil a 9 x 4 inch pan. In a small bowl, combine flour, cinnamon, salt, nuts, and raisins. In a large bowl, blend eggs, sugar, and oil. Mix baking soda into pulp, and add to sugar mixture. Fold in flour mixture. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 75 minutes, or until tester inserted in the center comes out clean.

Persimmon Cookies

2 ripe persimmons, pureed
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup butter
1 cup raisins
1 cup chopped walnuts

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Dissolve baking soda in persimmon pulp and set aside. Sift flour, spices and salt together, set aside. Cream together butter or margarine and sugar until fluffy, beat in egg and persimmon. Stir in dry ingredients. Stir in nuts and raisins. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet. Bake for 15 minutes.

Persimmon Pudding

Ingredients:
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups persimmon pulp
2 1/2 cups white sugar
2 eggs, beaten
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
2 1/2 cups milk
4 tablespoons melted butter

Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Butter one 9x13 inch baking pan. In a mixing bowl, combine persimmon pulp, baking soda, sugar and eggs. Mix well. Add flour, baking powder, cinnamon, vanilla, salt, milk and melted butter. Stir to combine. Pour into baking pan and bake for 55 minutes. The pudding will rise but will fall when removed from oven. Once cooled, keep in the refrigerator. Good warm or cold. Serve with whipped cream.

Jeanette Said:

How do I turn a whole persimmon into pulp?

We Answered:

If you have persimmons they should be soft or else they will be too astringent to use. Freezing the fruit overnight and then thawing softens the fruit and also removes the astringency.

If they are not soft you can also do this: wrap them in newspaper or put them in a brown paper bag and leave them sitting at room temperature until they are soft. You can just scrap the pulp from the skin with a spoon
