Print Recipe

Ingredients
  • 1 tsp baking soda .
  • 1 quart raw persimmons .
  • 4 tbsps butter .
  • 1 quart flour .
  • 2 quarts milk .
  • 3 eggs .
  • 1 1/2 pints sugar

Directions
  • Step #1 2 quarts of milk poured over 1 quart of persimmons.
  • Step #2 (Remove seeds by running through a colander).
  • Step #3 Add 1 quart flour & 1+1/2 pints sugar, (mix together so flour won't lump), to the pulp & milk mixture.
  • Step #4 Mix together well: 1 tsp soda, 3 whole eggs (beaten), & chunk of butter (size of an egg).
  • Step #5 Mix & pour this into a large crock or roaster & bake in a moderate oven '(350*F)', for 3 hrs.
  • Step #6 Stir 'while baking' a couple of times.
  • Step #7 Serve with whipping cream.
  • Step #8 I had to add 'baking' to the ingredient soda as the Zaar program wouldn't accept just soda & '+' for 1+1/2 pints sugar as it looked like eleven halves in the directions.
  • Step #9 My mother added the 'mix together so flour won't lump' as the original recipe has the flour at the bottom of the recipe & doesn't tell how or when to add it.
  • Step #10 She also added the '350 degrees' & 'while baking' as the original recipe didn't have this information.
  • Step #11 She also had: chunk of butter the size of a walnut (or egg).
  • Step #12 As for the persimmons, I'm just guessing, she cut out the stem & skinned them before she put them through the colander to seed them?.
  • Step #13 I suppose you would want to preheat the oven too, as I believe this was originally made in a wood stove oven?.
  • Step #14 Not listed here is cinnamon & nutmeg as other recipes on Zaar have in them but I'm sure it would help this recipe.
