Being from Indiana, I’m able to buy frozen pulp. We have three little persimmon trees but they are years away from fruiting.

My grandfather made persimmon pudding every year at Thanksgiving. I wish I had his recipe although I’ve found one quite similar. Just thinking about the delicious smell makes my heart ache for him and my childhood.

I live on the Idaho/Oregon/Nevda border, in the middle of the desert. I have never even heard of persimmon; however, I plan to purchase some and give this recipe a try. I am hosting a Christmas party at my house for coworkers, so I will try it out then. I sure sounds good. Always nice to try something new.

Is is possible to substitute coconut cream for whipping cream? There’s a dairy allergy issue in our house, most recipes have to be altered before I can make them. Thanks.

Hmm! This looks delicious. i used to work at a bakery, and every year persimmon pudding time would roll around. Only, ours was baked in a bundt pan and came out quite firm, and almost black! (which was bizarre because the batter was bright orange). i will have to try this recipe and compare (surely, they are both good in different ways)! Thanks for passing it along.

When you cook like a Grandma it’s because you’ve been cooking a LONG time. If you’re not you really haven’t been paying attention all those years. That’s what children are for also. If you didn’t have them you wouldn’t know how to love, really love! All of the attendant skills are learned at the hands of tiny, helpless, mewling and demanding human beings. And sometimes they really stink! But, despite helpful relatives and friends you learn by doing….otherwise it’s just information. Love isn’t informational is demonstrable. Love, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. That’s the Spirit! Happy Thanksgiving.

We had a persimmon tree one time and I tried them when they were not ripe. Ooooooh, were they bitter. Kind of sucked in your whole mouth! Then a humongous tornado tore the tree out and sent it flying somewhere over the rainbow. I’ve never tasted a ripe persimmon.
