Aunt Edna's Persimmon Pudding image

This recipe comes from my great aunt Edna, which I got from my aunt Shirley. I always remember it from family reunions but only recently discovered how to make it. After making a couple batches and having them come out just as I remember as a kid, I decided I had to share it with the world.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pudding turned out grainy. I think I might have overcooked it.

This pudding is a great way to use up ripe persimmons. It's also a nice change of pace from the usual apple or pumpkin pies.
