HARRIET DAVIS'S INDIANA PERSIMMON PUDDING
This is my grandmother's recipe that she made each Thanksgiving when I was growing up. She was a native Hoosier and resided in Orleans, IN for many years. Although not a huge fan of cooking, this is one recipe she made very well and it is always one that makes me remember her fondly. Serve chilled and top with whipped cream.

INDIANA PERSIMMON PUDDING
Fall is a wonderful time of year in the Midwest and this dessert is a Hoosier favorite. This old-fashioned pudding is moist, dense and firm. It's not like the packaged pudding mixes.-Judy Tharp, Indianapolis, Indiana

GREAT GREAT GRANDMA'S PERSIMMON PUDDING
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".

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?

Tips:
- Choose ripe persimmons: Look for persimmons that are soft and slightly wrinkled, with a deep orange color. Avoid persimmons that are hard or have green patches.
- Peel and seed the persimmons: To peel a persimmon, cut it in half and scoop out the seeds. You can also use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin.
- Use a food processor or blender: A food processor or blender will help you to puree the persimmons until they are smooth. If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can mash the persimmons by hand.
- Add spices and flavorings: You can add spices and flavorings to your persimmon pudding to taste. Some popular options include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and vanilla extract.
- Bake the pudding in a greased baking dish: Pour the persimmon pudding mixture into a greased baking dish and bake it in a preheated oven until it is set. The baking time will vary depending on the size of the baking dish and the oven temperature.
- Serve the pudding warm or cold: Persimmon pudding can be served warm or cold. If you are serving it warm, you can top it with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.
Conclusion:
Persimmon pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up ripe persimmons, and it can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its creamy texture and sweet flavor, persimmon pudding is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
