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
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.

You can serve this warm or let it cool - my family loves it both ways."

GRANDMA'S PERSIMMON PUDDING
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:
- To ensure the smoothest pudding, use a food processor or blender to puree the persimmons until completely smooth.
- If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can mash the persimmons by hand. Just make sure to mash them until they are completely smooth and free of any lumps.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar in the pudding to your liking. If you like your pudding sweeter, add more sugar. If you prefer a less sweet pudding, reduce the amount of sugar.
- For a richer pudding, use heavy cream instead of milk. You can also add a tablespoon of butter or margarine to the pudding for extra richness.
- Serve the pudding warm or cold. If you are serving the pudding warm, let it cool slightly before serving so that it doesn't burn your mouth.
