GREAT GREAT GRANDMA'S PERSIMMON PUDDING



Great Great Grandma's Persimmon Pudding image

My mother used to make this for Christmas in the 1960's. It was really sweet and brown if my memory serves me. According to the recipe this is from Indiana circa 1850. At the bottom of the recipe is written: "Lena Chambers, Gina Allen's niece by marriage". Allen was my mother's maiden name, Betty Gene Allen. Beurah Allen was my grandmother's last name by marriage, she was born in 1884, Beurah Hawkins. So this from my grandfather's side of the family, Vern C. Allen. I have no information on how Gina Allen or Lena Chambers fit in the family tree. Gina Allen could have been my great great grandmother. The measurements listed here are from the original 1850 recipe where quarts and pints are mentioned. There are 2 cups to a pint and 4 cups to a quart. I did change the amount of butter from: "chunk of butter size of an egg), to: "4 tablespoons". I don't think the Zaar program would accept the amount, "chunk".

Time 3h30m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 quart raw persimmon
2 quarts milk
1 quart flour
1 1/2 pints sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 eggs
4 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • 2 quarts of milk poured over 1 quart of persimmons. (Remove seeds by running through a colander).
  • Add 1 quart flour and 1+1/2 pints sugar, (mix together so flour won't lump), to the pulp and milk mixture.
  • Mix together well: 1 teaspoon soda, 3 whole eggs (beaten), and chunk of butter (size of an egg).
  • Mix and pour into a large crock or roaster and bake in a moderate oven '(350*F)', for 3 hours. Stir 'while baking' a couple of times.
  • Serve with whipping cream.
  • I had to add 'baking' to the ingredient soda as the Zaar program wouldn't accept just soda and '+' for 1+1/2 pints sugar as it looked like eleven halves in the directions.
  • My mother added the 'mix together so flour won't lump' as the original recipe has the flour at the bottom of the recipe and doesn't tell how or when to add it. She also added the '350 degrees' and 'while baking' as the original recipe didn't have this information. She also had: chunk of butter the size of a walnut (or egg). As for the persimmons, I'm just guessing, she cut out the stem and skinned them before she put them through the colander to seed them?.
  • I suppose you would want to preheat the oven too, as I believe this was originally made in a wood stove oven?.
  • Not listed here is cinnamon and nutmeg as other recipes on Zaar have in them but I'm sure it would help this recipe. Maybe a poor farmer's wife didn't have these spices in 1850 Indiana?

GRANDMA'S PERSIMMON PUDDING



Grandma's Persimmon Pudding image

My grandma has made this for as long as I can remember. In the last couple of years, I have taken up making this, but have taken to cutting the "sauce" part in half and baking in an 8x8 or 9x9 pan instead for just a little longer (for a thicker and more dense/cakelike pudding, rather than the thinner and more "pudding like" pudding). If you choose the smaller pan, you will want to increase the cooking time slightly.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe persimmons: Look for persimmons that are soft and slightly yielding to the touch, with a deep orange color. Avoid persimmons that are hard or have green patches.
  • Peel and remove the seeds from the persimmons: To peel a persimmon, use a sharp knife to cut off the top and bottom of the fruit. Then, score the skin lengthwise and peel it off. To remove the seeds, cut the persimmon in half and scoop them out with a spoon.
  • Use a food processor or blender to puree the persimmons: This will make them smooth and easy to incorporate into the pudding. If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can mash the persimmons by hand.
  • Don't overcook the pudding: The pudding is done when it has thickened and set, but it should not be too firm. Overcooked pudding will be tough and rubbery.
  • Serve the pudding warm or cold: Persimmon pudding can be served warm or cold. If you are serving it warm, let it cool slightly before serving. If you are serving it cold, chill it for at least 2 hours before serving.

Conclusion:

Sandra's persimmon pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with simple ingredients and can be customized to your liking. With its creamy texture and sweet persimmon flavor, this pudding is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
