STEAMED PERSIMMON PUDDING
Two kinds of persimmons are recruited for steamed pudding; soft, ripe hachiyas are used in the batter, and oven-dried slices of fuyu -- resembling orange flowers -- form a ring around the dessert. The pudding is full of golden raisins, pecans, and candied ginger and warmed by brandy's sweet heat.

Steps:
- Butter a 12-cup pudding mold. Fill a large pot fitted with a steamer insert with enough water to come halfway up mold (test this with an empty mold); set aside. Sift flour, spices, and salt in a bowl; set aside. Put Calvados and sultanas into a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer. Remove from heat; let stand 15 minutes. Drain; discard liquid. Set raisins aside.
- Meanwhile, slice tops off persimmons. Scoop out flesh, and press through a sieve into a bowl, discarding skins (you should have 1 1/2 cups persimmon puree). Whisk in milk; set aside.
- Put butter and sugar into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix on medium speed until pale and fluffy. Mix in eggs, vanilla, and lemon juice. Add persimmon mixture in 2 batches, scraping down sides of bowl after each addition. Mix in baking soda mixture. Add flour mixture; mix until just combined. Stir in pecans, sultanas, and ginger. Pour into prepared mold; cover with buttered parchment and lid.
- Bring water in prepared pot to a boil; reduce heat to a simmer. Carefully lower mold into steamer. Cover pot, and steam until a cake tester inserted in center comes out clean, 3 to 3 1/2 hours, checking occasionally to make sure water level is maintained (add hot water as needed).
- Transfer mold to a wire rack; remove lid and parchment. Let cool 15 minutes. Unmold pudding onto a plate, and cut into slices. Serve with persimmon slices and Calvados cream.

PERSIMMON STEAMED ENGLISH PUDDING
This is an English pudding (or cake). A persimmon is a fruit with red-orange skin and flesh which comes in several varities and are in season from October to around Dec or Feb depending on your location. When selecting persimmons, look for plump, soft fruit but not mushy. Some helpful notes from our Zaar friend Maito, (who so kindly volunteered to be the test kitchen for this recipe that I found scratched down on paper from long ago and had not made personally) are as follows: Either of the two varieties of persimmons will work with this, as long as the fuyus are soft or hachiyas are super soft/almost mushy. Put greased parchment paper (greased side down) under the foil (so aluminum doesn't drip into your cake). It is also helpful to have a string to make a handle to help you lift the cake out (we did a crisscross around the whole pan). Before step 3, you might measure the amount of water you want first (with the pans and pot in place), before putting the batter in.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, firm persimmons for the best flavor and texture. Softer, overripe persimmons can be used, but they may result in a pudding that is less firm.
- If you are using a steamer basket, lightly grease it with oil to prevent the pudding from sticking.
- Cover the pudding tightly with plastic wrap or foil to prevent condensation from dripping onto the pudding.
- Steaming the pudding for the correct amount of time is crucial. Undercooked pudding will be runny, while overcooked pudding will be dry and dense.
- Let the pudding cool slightly before serving. This will make it easier to slice and serve.
Conclusion:
Steamed 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 can be served warm or cold. With its rich, sweet flavor and tender texture, this pudding is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
