BAKED PERSIMMON INDIAN PUDDING image

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup soft-ripe Hachiya or Fuyu persimmon pulp (see notes)
2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 cup sugar
About 1/2 cup (1/4 lb.) butter or margarine, at room temperature
1/4 cup dark molasses
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1 cup raisins
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Persimmon-eggnog sauce

Steps:

  • 1. In a blender or food processor, whirl persimmon pulp and baking soda until smooth. 2. In a bowl, with a mixer on medium speed, beat sugar, 1/2 cup butter, and molasses until blended. Add eggs and vanilla and beat until smooth. In another bowl, mix flour, cornmeal, cinnamon, ginger, and allspice. Stir dry ingredients and persimmon purée into sugar-butter mixture. Add raisins and walnuts and mix until blended. 3. Pour batter into a buttered and floured 7- to 8-cup loaf pan or ring mold (no deeper than 3 in.); cover tightly with foil. Put pan in a larger pan and place in a 300° oven. Add 3/4 inch boiling water to outer pan around loaf pan or 1/2 inch boiling water around ring mold. 4. Bake until pudding is firm in center when lightly pressed (lift foil to check), about 2 hours (about 1 1/4 hours in a convection oven). Carefully lift pan from water and let stand 10 minutes, then uncover. Run a knife between pudding and sides of pan to release. Invert onto a plate. Cut warm or cool pudding into slices, transfer to plates, and top with spoonfuls of persimmon-eggnog sauce.

I would not recommend this recipe to anyone. It's a lot of work for a very mediocre result.

This recipe is a waste of time and ingredients. The pudding was bland and tasteless.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pudding turned out really runny. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I found that this pudding was a bit too dense for my liking. I think it would have been better if it had been baked for a shorter amount of time.

This pudding is a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think it would be perfect with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

I'm not a big fan of persimmons, but I actually really enjoyed this pudding. The spices helped to balance out the sweetness of the persimmons.
