Persimmon Pudding
"We just planted half a dozen persimmon trees, so I'm looking for persimmon recipes! This is a colonial recipe adapted from Michie Tavern in Charlottesville. It's my understanding that Japanese persimmons fare better than American for recipes, since the American may become bitter when cooked."
Original is 8-10 servings
