Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a bowl, whisk sugar, flour and baking soda.
- In a small bowl, crack both eggs. Add one at a time to the dry ingredients; whisk to incorporate.
- Add one cup of the milk, and mix with the whisk.
- Add the persimmon pulp, and mix well; add remaining milk and whisk until smooth and batter- like.
- Pour into a deep, oven proof vessel (like a Dutch oven).
- Bake for 1 hour and 40 minutes. Stir - scraping the sides and bottom - until smooth every 20 minutes. The pudding will start to resemble a batter and then will darken and thicken as it cooks.

- To serve, spoon into a dish and top with whipped cream.
MYSTERY LADY'S PERSIMMON PUDDING
The name is pudding, but the texture is more like an extremely moist cake. This recipe IS the holiday season to me. My grandmother makes it every Thanksgiving and Christmas. She used to make it the hard way, but learned a trick in the grocery line one year. A lady had several spice cake mixes and Grandma asked what she was making - she said persimmon pudding. Grandma got the recipe and never looked back. :-) I can't tell you how many people I've had say "eww, persimmon pudding?" only to beg for another piece!

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.

Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13 inch baking pan lightly with nonstick spray; set aside.
- Mix the persimmon pulp with the 2 cups sugar in a large bowl; set aside. Whisk together the eggs and baking soda in a small bowl. Add the egg mixture to the persimmon mixture and beat well; set aside.
- Whisk together the 1 cup flour, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon in a bowl. Stir 1/4 of the flour mixture to the persimmon mixture. Add 1/4 of the buttermilk and mix well. Continue alternating flour and buttermilk, adding 1/4 each time, and mixing well after each addition, until all of the flour mixture and buttermilk are incorporated. Stir in cream, honey, and melted butter until well combined. Pour the pudding batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until set, about 1 hour. While baking, do not stir; Turn off the oven at the end of the baking time, but do not remove the pudding from the oven.
- Meanwhile, when the pudding has about 10 minutes of baking time left, make the sauce. Boil the water in a small saucepan. Whisk 1/2 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon flour together, and whisk sugar mixture into the boiling water, whisking until smooth. Boil the sauce for 5 minutes and remove from heat. Stir in vanilla.
- Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the pudding, and leave the pudding to cool in the warm oven for 20 more minutes, being sure that the oven is off so that the pudding does not continue to cook.

PERSIMMON PUDDING WITH SWEET WHITE SAUCE
My Memaw had a persimmon tree and always had pulp packed away in the freezer for this rich and delicious treat; summer, winter, spring or fall. The original recipe was handed down from her mother and each daughter took the recipe and tweaked it a little to accommodate the individual tastes of their families. One daughter added cinnamon, one daughter added nutmeg. This is the recipe I grew-up with and I believe it is the original. Memaw passed away several years ago, but I can still close my eyes and picture the whole family feasting on her persimmon pudding in the tight cozy kitchen of her small farmhouse.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325°F for glass pans, or 350°F for metal pans.
- Grease and flour two 9"x13" pans.
- Cream the sugar and butter together.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, until thoroughly incorporated.
- Add the persimmon pulp and the buttermilk to the mixture.
- Dissolve the baking soda in a little bit of warm water, let fizz, and then add to the mixture.
- Mix the baking powder with one (1) cup of flour and add to mixture.
- Add the second cup of flour a little bit at a time, but do not overbeat as this will make the pudding tough.
- Divide the batter into two pans (this will produce a rather thin layer of pudding when baked).
- Bake for 45 to 60 minutes checking for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center after 45 minutes.
- Do NOT overbake!
- Better the pudding be a little on the moist side than dry.
- For the sauce, place the first 4 ingredients in saucepan, bring to boil, boil 5 minutes, then remove from heat and add the vanilla.
- Once the pudding is done and has cooled a little, cut it into 3 squares and layer it in a serving dish with the warm sauce between the layers and ending with sauce spooned over the top.

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.
