OLD-FASHIONED PERSIMMON PUDDING
This is an old-fashioned persimmon pudding recipe from which people who say they don't like persimmon pudding DO like this one. It is more moist and more like the consistency of pumpkin pie filling. It's wonderful topped with whipped cream or milk poured over it.

PERSIMMON PUDDING
Wild persimmons start to blush along the country roads of Indiana in late September, stealing the colors of sunset and weighing down their trees like Christmas balls. They are native to the landscape, unlike the Chinese and Japanese varieties cultivated in California and found in grocery stores. Foraging carries on through November, when the fruit claims a place at the Hoosier Thanksgiving table in the form of a dark gold pudding, distant kin to the sweet persimmon bread offered to early colonials by the Cherokee. This recipe comes from Alverta S. Hart of Mitchell, Ind. This fall, the town hosted its annual Persimmon Festival and as always, the most suspenseful event was the persimmon pudding contest. Ms. Hart submitted her first pudding in 1962 as an 18-year-old bride, and re-entered every year for nearly four decades until she became a judge, then chairwoman of the event, winning on and off and collecting every color of ribbon along the way.

NONNIE'S PERSIMMON PUDDING
My husband's grandmother, Nonnie, used to make her really unique version of Persimmon Pudding every Thanksgiving. When she wasn't able to make it anymore, my husband asked if I would take over. I did, and am now required to bring this to every fall family gathering! You can serve this warm or let it cool - my family loves it both ways.

PERSIMMON PUDDING
You know the song, "We Wish You A Merry Christmas", the part that says, "Oh Bring Me A Figgy Pudding"? Well, that is what I thougt of when I removed this Persimmon Pudding from the oven. The smell of freshly grated nutmeg is amazing. This recipe is close to the one my mother made every Thanksgiving and Christmas. Wonderful, served with whipped cream or lemon sauce. I'm going to make sweetened whipped cream and add a little rum for flavoring. I got this recipe from the internet, while searching for Indiana Persimmon Pudding recipes. It said, "it came from, some old Indiana newspaper, 1976."

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9 x 9 baking dish and set aside.
- Stir baking soda and sugar into the persimmon pulp and set aside. This mixture may thicken as it sits, which is alright.
- In large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt and spices. Add to the persimmon mixture all at once and stir until flour is almost completely incorporated.
- In smaller, seperate bowl whisk together milk, egg and butter. Add this mixture to persimmon and flour mixture. Batter will be very loose. Pour into buttered baking dish.
- Bake for 1 hour, covered with foil, or uncovered. Bake until firm, but still moist. If baked covered, pudding will be very moist. If baked uncovered, pudding will be drier and top will have a bread like crust. Allow to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.
- Note from original poster: they baked pudding uncovered, for a more bread like top crust. My notes: 1. When my mother baked this, she always covered it with foil, so that is what I did. 2. I also doubled the recipe, since I'm serving it for Thanksgiving. I baked it in a 9x13 glass cake pan for the 1 hr. time frame. 3. I tested for doneness after 1 hr, by inserting a toothpick in center of pudding, to see if it would come out clean, and it did. 4. I did use a hand mixer to help get the flour more incorporated, and continued using the hand mixer, when adding the milk/egg mixture.

Steps:
- 1. Combine sugar, eggs, flour, buttermilk, soda, margarine, persimmon pulp; mix until well mixed. Add your desired amount of pure vanilla extract and cinnamon. I normally use 2 teaspoons vanilla and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
- 2. Pour into a greased 13 x 9 x 2 inch dish. Bake at 300 degrees for 1 hour, or until golden brown. Test with toothpick, when it's stuck 3 inches from center and comes out clean, your pudding is done.
- 3. Let cool until warm and slice out you a piece. Add whipped cream and prepare for a taste of Southern Heaven!
Tips:
- Choose ripe persimmons. The best persimmons for pudding are ripe but still firm. Avoid persimmons that are too soft or mushy, as they will not hold their shape in the pudding.
- Peel and seed the persimmons before cooking. To peel a persimmon, simply use a sharp knife to cut off the top and bottom of the fruit. Then, score the skin of the persimmon lengthwise and peel it off. To seed a persimmon, cut the fruit in half and scoop out the seeds with a spoon.
- Use a food processor or blender to puree the persimmons. This will help to ensure that the pudding is smooth and creamy.
- Add spices and other flavorings to taste. Common spices used in persimmon pudding include cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. You can also add other flavorings, such as vanilla extract or orange zest.
- Bake the pudding in a greased baking dish. This will help to prevent the pudding from sticking to the dish.
- Serve the pudding warm or cold. Persimmon pudding can be served warm with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream. It can also be served cold, as a refreshing dessert.
Conclusion:
Persimmon pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and tangy flavor, persimmon pudding is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a new dessert to try, give persimmon pudding a try. You won't be disappointed!
