PERSIMMON STEAMED ENGLISH PUDDING



Persimmon Steamed English Pudding image

This is an English pudding (or cake). A persimmon is a fruit with red-orange skin and flesh which comes in several varities and are in season from October to around Dec or Feb depending on your location. When selecting persimmons, look for plump, soft fruit but not mushy. Some helpful notes from our Zaar friend Maito, (who so kindly volunteered to be the test kitchen for this recipe that I found scratched down on paper from long ago and had not made personally) are as follows: Either of the two varieties of persimmons will work with this, as long as the fuyus are soft or hachiyas are super soft/almost mushy. Put greased parchment paper (greased side down) under the foil (so aluminum doesn't drip into your cake). It is also helpful to have a string to make a handle to help you lift the cake out (we did a crisscross around the whole pan). Before step 3, you might measure the amount of water you want first (with the pans and pot in place), before putting the batter in.

STEAMED PERSIMMON PUDDING



Steamed Persimmon Pudding image

Two kinds of persimmons are recruited for steamed pudding; soft, ripe hachiyas are used in the batter, and oven-dried slices of fuyu -- resembling orange flowers -- form a ring around the dessert. The pudding is full of golden raisins, pecans, and candied ginger and warmed by brandy's sweet heat.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Yield Serves 8 to 12

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, plus more for mold
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 cup Calvados or other brandy
1/4 cup sultanas (golden raisins)
3 to 4 very soft hachiya persimmons
1 cup whole milk
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda, dissolved in 1 1/2 tablespoons hot water
1 cup pecans, toasted and coarsely chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped candied ginger
Oven-Dried Persimmon Slices, for garnish
Calvados Cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Butter a 12-cup pudding mold. Fill a large pot fitted with a steamer insert with enough water to come halfway up mold (test this with an empty mold); set aside. Sift flour, spices, and salt in a bowl; set aside. Put Calvados and sultanas into a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer. Remove from heat; let stand 15 minutes. Drain; discard liquid. Set raisins aside.
  • Meanwhile, slice tops off persimmons. Scoop out flesh, and press through a sieve into a bowl, discarding skins (you should have 1 1/2 cups persimmon puree). Whisk in milk; set aside.
  • Put butter and sugar into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix on medium speed until pale and fluffy. Mix in eggs, vanilla, and lemon juice. Add persimmon mixture in 2 batches, scraping down sides of bowl after each addition. Mix in baking soda mixture. Add flour mixture; mix until just combined. Stir in pecans, sultanas, and ginger. Pour into prepared mold; cover with buttered parchment and lid.
  • Bring water in prepared pot to a boil; reduce heat to a simmer. Carefully lower mold into steamer. Cover pot, and steam until a cake tester inserted in center comes out clean, 3 to 3 1/2 hours, checking occasionally to make sure water level is maintained (add hot water as needed).
  • Transfer mold to a wire rack; remove lid and parchment. Let cool 15 minutes. Unmold pudding onto a plate, and cut into slices. Serve with persimmon slices and Calvados cream.

PERSIMMON PUDDING WITH HARD SAUCE



Persimmon Pudding with Hard Sauce image

An old-fashioned steamed pudding may not be your traditional Thanksgiving Day dessert, but it is a tradition on our Thanksgiving table. You will need a pudding mold and persimmons, a beautiful orange fruit that looks like an apple. The persimmons will need to be quite soft, almost overripe to the touch. Persimmons taste like a cross between a peach and an apricot, but they are a little tart. The pudding should be served slightly warm, which makes the hard sauce - one of the best tastes - melt.

Categories     dessert

Yield Serves 10 to 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, plus extra for the pudding mold
1 cup sugar
1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
1 cup persimmon pulp (from 2 to 3 ripe persimmons, peeled and seeded)
3 teaspoons brandy
2 large eggs, slightly beaten
2 teaspoons baking soda mixed with 2 teaspoons warm water
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon brandy

Steps:

  • To make the pudding, in a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar with an electric mixer at medium speed. Add the flour, 1/2 cup at a time, alternating with the persimmon pulp, brandy, eggs, and baking soda mixture. Stir in the vanilla, spices, walnuts, and raisins and mix on low until the butter comes together, about 5 minutes.
  • Butter the top and bottom of a 2-quart pudding mold with a lid. Spoon in the mixture. Put the buttered lid on tightly and lock into place. Put the mold in a bigger pot filled with water to come halfway up the side of the mold; cover the pot. It is necessary to have a well-buttered mold and enough water for ample steam for this pudding to come out right. Bring the water to a simmer and let simmer over medium-low heat for about 2 hours. Make sure the water doesn't evaporate; add more hot water if it does. The pudding should be checked with a cake tester. When the tester comes out clean, the pudding is done. Take the mold out of the water and unmold when cool, 1 to 2 hours.
  • While the pudding is steaming, prepare the hard sauce. Cream the butter and sugar together with an electric mixer. Beat in the brandy. Chille at least 1 hour. Serve with the warm pudding.

PERSIMMON PUDDING

Sweet and juicy persimmons are the base of this classic holiday pudding recipe from "The Martha Stewart Living Christmas Cookbook." Soft whipped cream can be served as an alternative topping to sour lemon sauce.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup vegetable oil, plus more for mold
4 to 5 large, very ripe persimmons
3/4 cup sugar
6 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Sour Lemon Sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Oil an 8-cup lidded pudding mold with vegetable oil; set aside.
  • Peel persimmons and transfer to a medium bowl. Mash flesh, removing black seeds (you should have 2 3/4 cups of pulp); set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk together sugar and eggs on medium-high until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add oil and vanilla; mix until well combined. Add persimmon pulp and mix to combine.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Add to persimmon mixture and mix just until smooth, scraping down sides of bowl once during mixing. Transfer mixture to prepared mold and cover with an oiled parchment paper round; cover mold with lid.
  • Bring a kettle of water to a boil over high heat. Fit a large pot with a rack and place filled pudding mold on rack in pot. Add just enough boiling water to come halfway up the mold. Place pot over high heat and bring to a boil; immediately reduce heat to a simmer and cook until pudding springs back when touched, about 2 1/2 hours, adding more boiling water as necessary to maintain water level.
  • Remove mold from pot and uncover. Let pudding cool in mold for 1 hour, then carefully run a sharp knife around the top edge of the pudding to loosen from the mold and invert carefully onto serving platter. Serve with sour lemon sauce.

PERSIMMON PUDDING



Persimmon Pudding image

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.

  • Hint: place an old towl in the bottom of the pan you are using for steaming. It will protect the mold and reduce the noise. Also check the pan every 15 minutes or so to make sure there is plenty of water.
