That is soooooo good! Live in Indiana but in the northern part and have never been able to get the tree to grow but have relation in the southern part that saves me some.

My Dad was from IN and my husband and I lived in IN for 4 years, one in Terre Haute and 3 in Indy. Persimmon Pudding is a family tradition. Love it! I'm so happy to now have a place to get the pulp!

I haven't made these in ages. I don't recall how many cookies this recipe will make, and it's not written on the paper that the recipe is written on... Sorry!

Hey Sooey, would you mind sharing your 'simmon pudding recipe?

We have a persimmon tree and I just let everyone in the neighborhood have them or the birds get them. I have made persimmon pudding in the past, ok but not wild about it. I will see if I can find the recipe.

I am so glad this came up! I have some persimmon in the freezer, and I hope it's two cups worth so I can make that cookie recipe. I love persimmon cookies!

I'd like to see the persimmon pudding recipe too, if you could post it.
