Persimmon Pudding

- This is my mother and grandmother's recipe for persimmon pudding. Persimmons grow wild in North Carolina, South Carolina, and many other states including southern Indiana. The wild ones have a stronger taste than those that have been cultivated for centuries in Japan and other countries.
Here's the recipe I used and slightly altered:
2 cups persimmon pulp ( I used the Japanese variety purchased in Walmart)
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup cornmeal
3/4 cup self-rising flour
1 1/2 cups half & half
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
Easily made in the food processor after pureeing the persimmons into pulp.
This recipe was baked in an 8"x 8" Pyrex dish.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 1 hour or until tooth pick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow to cool for about 30 minutes before slicing.
Refrigerate leftovers. This pudding is also good cold and is usually better the next day.

Thank you my dear sweet Phyllis. You will never be gone you are on RUclips.
You've become such an important part of my day, thank you so much for making the time to teach me something daily blessings.
I have to make this! We used to pick and eat wild persimmons on our way to my Grandpa’s house when I was a little girl in Oklahoma. Thank you for all your videos. I love each and every one of them. I miss you and hope you’re feeling better soon! 🕊 🙏🏻
When I was a child we had trees in the back yard. These ripened before frost unlike wild ones. She squished them through a mesh bag to keep seeds out. She made the pulp into a baked custard pudding. Yummity yum! I miss it so! This looks just like it. She used cinnamon or nutmeg in it.
I have been watching You and Mr. Bucky for a few weeks now. I Love You both! Thank You for All that You do.
i am originally from nw ark tho moved to panhandle of tx when very small. however heard of wild persimmons & pawpaws from grandparents,parents,& older brothers & sisters. of course when someone would come from ark to visit or we would go to ark to visit during fall & persimmon ripening time of the yr we would get some persimmons,which was a great treat. was always told & have learned from experience wild persimmons get ripe after the first frost. and then too they have a beautiful irrediscant orange purple silver color,& very sweet. before ripening they are very puckery,like putting alum in your mouth!! now i have lived in ne okla for yrs so can get persimmons or see them. thank you phyllis & all your readers for your great stuff!!
Thank you for your recipe, your voice is calming....that totally got my attention..I watch recipes my Utube quit often....a neighbor brought me a bag full of the Japanese persimmons. I have share the following with you. I have a one year old dog, she has never sat on my lap , and was Mesmerized, by your voice...so that's for that your voice..going to make this tomorrow.😎✌️️from Cali .
THIS BROUGHT BACK SO MANY MEMORIES. MY MOM AND MY GRANDMOTHER'S MADE PERSIMMON PUDDING A LOT WHEN I WAS A KID. I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN INDIANA AND IT SEEMED LIKE EVERYONE HAD A PERSIMMON TREE. THEY GROW WILD THERE TOO. AS I GOT OLDER MOM WOULD MAKE THE PULP AND FREEZE IT AND GRANDMA CANNED A LOT. THAT IS ONE OF THE BEST TREATS EVER. I LOVE HEAVY CREAM OVER MINE. I HAVE ONE 2 CUP BAG OF PULP IN MY FREEZER AND I AM USING IT FOR THANKSGIVING. THANK YOU FOR THE RECIPE AND THE MEMORIES. YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION TO US ALL. GOD BLESS YOU AND MR. BUCKY.
The consistency reminds me of the sweet potato pudding my great grandmother used to make. That was a special treat as a youngster more than 60 years ago. That brings back fond memories. Great videos. :)
I adore persimmons and persimmon pudding!
How elegant and gorgeous! I wish I had a persimmon tree! What a beautiful dessert! ❤
Now YOUR persimmon pudding LOOKS like a pudding! The persimmon pudding recipe my mother taught me is baked for about an hour (as I recall) in a fluted cake pan and turns out more like an applesauce cake than pudding. We made persimmon puddings from wild persimmons I found where we lived in southern, Virginia. I was 9 when I made my first persimmon pudding and it was such a surprise to me that it looked like a cake and cut like a cake, so why did she keep calling it a pudding?! She just said that some puddings were like that. LOL I remember that they were always moist and delicious to the last crumb. -- RoseMarie
Dear Phyllis, It’s the first time I’ve had the pleasure of viewing your site, but it certainly won’t be the last!!
I’m a dedicated persimmon fan! Here in Northern California we have both major varieties-my fave is the Hychia (sp.?). Thanks 🙏, Mary Frances
My first persimmon pudding is in the oven, THEN realised I forgot the vanilla. DARN! I have enough fruit to do it one more time this season, I'll be checking & rechecking myself. My kitchen smells so good, even without the vanilla. Thank you for your recipe. Oh, I used honey 1/2 cup instead of sugar. The batter taste great, sweet enough for me.
I like to use honey instead of sugar, too!
My mom made this and it was the best thing ever. Thanks for sharing!
I tried this today, I think I've done something wrong-maybe because I didn't have some cornmeal/ I will try again in a few days with a little extra flour, less sugar and less butter and see if I can get a better result. It is verrrrrryyyyy sweet! Not perfect, but the kids like it! Thank so much for posting your recipes
I can't wait to make this. A friend of ours gave us a two cup bag of frozen puree from their trees. I look forward to this pudding every year, though I haven't made it even once! You can always count on SOMEONE in NC to bring one to a cover dish or to a work holiday party and I look forward to it every year. Thanks so much for sharing!
Hi Mimi, Persimmon pudding was my favorite food as a child. We lived in Virginia for part of my childhood but would visit my grandmother several times a year. We usually got to her house late on Friday night because it was a six hour drive. No matter how late she would always say, "Phyllis, come on in the kitchen I've got something for you". She would have made a persimmon pudding and I would get the first piece. So delicious and such wonderful memories. My grandmother was a fantastic cook.

Foods that spawn wonderful memories are the best!!! Thanks for sharing these with us. My mother, who is Japanese, did a great job learning a bunch of southern dishes from my Maw Maw, my dad's mother, before she died when I was a little girl. Also, I had several relatives in the Kernersville area and Rock Hill, SC area that were fantastic cooks, also. My mom did an amazing job picking up and implementing the recipes and I am partial to NC region foods because of it :) Love the videos!
Mimi Neko i love miss philliys stolkes everything is terrific not enough time ro view them all
Ms. Phyllis, do you think I can bake the in mini Bundt Cake pans for individual portions? Love the recipe and thank you!
Awe...I pulped my first persimmons. Looking for a pudding recipe and you hit the list. I miss seeing you. :(
My grandma who pass in 83 from North Carolina had a hugh persimmon tree...she made persimmon pudding all the time and it was amazing...in fact it's one thing I miss..it was super moist and delicious...I have had it a couple times but it was dry... but I still remember how it taste that she made..
Hi, I loved your Persimmon Pudding recipe and I love persimmons. I live in the North East and most people don't know what to do with a persimmon. When they see them at the market they don't understand the soft flesh and think that a ripe persimmon is rotten even though that's when they are at their best. However I do not like fruit flies and I did have an infestation that almost drove me crazy. I found out that they can come into you home on the fruit that you buy or pick. Rinsing or cleaning the fruit will help to get rid of them but it is not guaranteed. There really is no such thing as one fruit fly and you may have a few but see one at a time. They lay their eggs near any garbage. I searched and searched and finally realized the eggs were clinging to the underside top of my stainless steal trash can lid. They are small white or ivory specks and you could easily mistake them for food crumbs. However, they move when disturbed in the larva stage. I sprayed the lid with insect spray and then cleaned the entire trash can. It killed them off and no I periodically spray my trash can just to be sure. As to the flying ones I tried the method that you tried and it did not work for me either. I placed some coconut oil in a bowl and left it uncovered on the counter. In a few days I had caught three fruit flies that were dead and stuck in the coconut oil. I on't think the plastic covering really works and I am sure that you could use honey or any other viscous fruit or oil that will lure them but also make them unable to fly after being stuck to whatever you use. You could probably even use some persimmon pulp. Good luck and thanks for the recipe.

I got some persimmons yesterday at an Asian store that look JUST LIKE the ones Phyllis is holding here -- but they DO make you pucker unless you wait until they are turned to a soft jelly!
What a fantastic persimmon pudding Phyllis's. My parent have 2 persimmon trees and when ripe they are delicious, otherwise they numb the inside of your mouth as you say. I researched about the getting rid of fruit flies and it says fill an empty jar with 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar, and a tbsp of dish washing liquid. Mix up,with a spoon, fill the jar up until it foams to the top, place the jar near the fruit fly or where it goes and apparently it gets attracted. I think that's what you did I'm not sure. Good luck
In the Ozark hills in Missouri, old timers and some people even today use persimmons to predict the winter weather. If the seeds are split open you can see the "meat" of the seed. If it shaped like a spoon it means it will be a cold winter so you eat soup. If you find a fork shaped seed the weather will be mild so you can eat regular foods. If it is a knife shape it will be a nice calm winter and you will have meat. I always thought this was kinda fun thing to do.
Very interesting, love to hear stuff like this.
I saw persimmons from Israel in the Korean market in New Jersey yesterday at .89 cents a piece. You might want to check out the Asian markets. They were giving out samples and they were really delicious.
There may not be too many Asian markets where she lives. Wal-Mart may have had them due to the brand's heavy sales in the Chinese, Korean, and Japanese markets.
Wow that looks Amazon Phyllis thank you so much for sharring .I've never seen that fruit before but I do remember my mother talking about them.Youve brang back good memories ! God bless you's 🙏💜
I LOVE persimmons...! Those kinds that make your mouth pucker like alum, those are wonderful (and no longer do that) when you let them get so soft that they are like grape jelly inside. That's when they are ready and DELISH...!
looks nice i usually make Persimmon tarts never had that much confidence to make puddings
He/she wants to be famous I reckon :) love your educational videos and the dogs & cats 👏🐈🐈🐩🐩 watching from England ☃💟
God bless you phyllis thank you
I have two of the Fuyu trees I planted that I purchased in Jacksonville TX. about 6 years ago. Got so busy with my horses and garden I forgot about them. This year I noticed fruit growing on them and was impressed with the abundance of fruit but the deer beat me to them before I could harvest most of them. Next year Will be My harvest :-)
I've never had this but know it would be delicious!
I used to have a friend who would let me pick the wild ones and I would work them up for my Mom in the fall as part of her Christmas gifts ..My friend sold the farm and now to buy the pulp usually at orchards is $6 for 2 cups ...I never cared for the persimmon pudding my Mom made but it is her Mothers recipe ..it is kind or a cross between a pudding and a brownie ....I saw the ones you have shown here at our Kroger's just last week but didn't look at the price ..Thank You for sharing ..I may try your recipe next year..
Lovely !! Will be trying your recipe .
Hi Phyllis! Thanks so much for your videos. I really enjoy them. I have a non-toxic fruit fly repellant tip but be patient as I tell my story!!! Not sure if you've heard that Avon makes a bath oil called SkinSoSoft. I've been using it for years as a moisturizer for my skin and found that this oil is also a great mosquito repellant. It seems that the sweet grass in the recipe repels mosquitos. Now, to the fruit flies. I too have had those annoying little fruit flies lately from having so many tomatoes from my garden. I was searching for something non-toxic so I poured about 1/4-1/2 C of my SkinSoSoft in a small bowl and set it behind my fruit/vegetable baskets. Low and behold, no more fruit flies! :) These little bugs hate the smell of sweet grass. I hope that helps. Please feel free to get in touch with any questions! Be well, Betty.
I use a hand held device that separates the pulp from the seeds. It has a crank on it that you turn. You put the device on top of a large stainless steel bowl to catch the pulp as you crank the handle. After each round of separating the pulp from the seeds, crank the handle backwards and clean the seeds out by hand. Repeat.
Thanks Phyllis, will give this a try, love your video.xx
I haven’t had persimmon in years!
Sounds yummy
Every opossum has its persimmon :-)
This would make a good holiday pie filling for holiday pies.
My Italian in-laws call these Cakis(might be spelled kaki?). I can't find them around where we live in Maryland. Their family brings some up for us from Florida when they visit. I always look forward to getting them. Next time they bring some, I will try this recipe. Thanks for sharing!
We are pudding fans too! Trees are hard to get to produce in Northern Indiana.
This pudding looks really good! :-) My grandma used to make persimmon cookies, but they had to be mushy ripe or they'd have that bitter tangy taste to them. She lived in Southern California, but I'm not sure what kind grew around there. Only place here in NC that I've found them is the Asian store in Charlotte and at Food Lion. Wish I knew where they grew wild around here!
They grow wild around Eagle Springs, Candor, Biscoe, Ashboro, West End and other little towns in the area. My understanding is you can buy frozen wild persimmon pulp in Lowe's grocery stores in these areas. Folks in these areas collect the persimmons and sell to this grocery store chain.
Oh cool. Thank you! :-)
I miss you, Phyllis! ❤
My great-grandparents had a persimmon tree and would also wait until they were really ripe. I really never learned what to do with them. So I really enjoyed your video regarding this fruit. Are there other recipes using this fruit?
We only used them for persimmon pudding up until I started putting them in smoothies. Now I have to wait until next late summer or fall to get more because I can't find them anywhere. I have decided I really like those large kind that come from California which are the large round seedless kind. They really sweeten up a smoothie and add a lot of nutrition. Thanks for your comments.
Thank you for showing how to make the pudding. Last year, I tried to make Martha Stewart's Persimmon Bread Pudding, but it was a total disaster. I think that the mold was one inch too small, but I still had pudding boiling over all over the Bain-marie, even after removing most of the batter ! Do you have a recipe for Steamed Persimmon Bread Pudding ? If you do, can you please send it to me ? Many thanks !
Sorry, I don't have a recipe for Steamed Persimmon Bread Pudding, it sounds like something I'd like to make.
Thank you.
When you use wild persimmons, do you still peel them?
why didn't you use a bit of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar or buttermilk to increase the astringency???? You would be amazed...i have about 2 bushels of fuyu and izu from my orchard, planning on trying my first ever chutney.
"He was grinning like a possum eating persimmons."
This kind of looks like a crust-less pumpkin pie pudding.
That pudding out of the oven looks so good. The texture almost reminds me of a custard. But what does persimmon taste like in recipes? I've never had anything with persimmon in it.
It's hard to describe the taste of a persimmon, they have a lot of fiber and are very sweet when ripe.
Thank you!!!
I've been watching tons of your videos and my biggest question is... how in the world do you stay the size you are? Haha! None of this is on my diet but I can't stop watching.
We have green smoothies in the morning and one main meal a day around 3 in the afternoon, if we are hungry in the evening around 7 or 8 o'clock we will have some kind of little snack. The green smoothies make a difference and keep us from snacking.
I use wine in a during harvest season here. Fruit flies love wine lol well so do I! Re: the recipe..... my mom and gmom made persimmon cookies, bread and cakes so... I have not seen pudding. The recipe look simple but my question is...why does it look like custard? I'm of the thinking that pudding is spooned not cut? Forgive my ignorance..I want to try this and it looks gooooood!
Everyone I know call it persimmon pudding and always have done so. It might just be a
North Carolina thing.
Thank you. I'll cut it, that's ok just so I can eat it! Lol
It looks like the texture of pumpkin pie filling
I've got 15 Persimmon trees on my farm. Indiana
as far as the fruit fly goes add a tiny drop of dish soap to the vinegar and a small piece of fruit everything else is the same as yo did. Where there is one fruit fly there are usually more!
What would you compare the taste of this fruit to?
Hi Phyllis, Wow, what an awesome channel. Did you plant that seed you found in the persimmon?
PERSIMMONS!!!! Yeeeaaassss honey!
thank you
I have never ever eaten a persimmon in my life nor has my husband or my kids. hummm I live in California I am so curious about what they taste like you said bitter like aprin bitter??
They are bitter that can turn your mouth inside out but are delicious when perfectly ripe.
What fruit does it taste like? Looks great!
There is no comparison. The best most succulent persimmons are the ones that need ripening until they are near rotten. There is no taste like it. To me, Japanese persimmons are disappointingly flat tasting.
Sally Anderson, they have an orangy peachy kind of flavor.
FRUIT FLIES: Just put a little bit of red wine in the bottom of a small jar (just 1/2 inch is enough) and leave it out. No need for saran wrap or anything: they will go in and drown. Gnats too.
Hoping you are doing well and Florence left no trace! I can wish cant I. Lol
I remember this fruit as a child in the 60s finding them in the woods very better when not ripe made your mouth feel up side down but very good when ripe
Hi Phyllis, have you made anything with apricots?
I have dried apricots and plan to make apricot dumplings soon I hope.
My experience with the Japanese Persimmons are that they do have that astringent taste until they get soft.
My neighbor has a Japanese Persimmon tree, and they are astringent until they get pretty soft, just not soupy soft.
I hope you get this message! It has been 5 years since you made your video! You didn't say anything about making Persimmon Pulp with your Japanese Persimmons? Do you need to cook and mash before hand? I'm a relocated Hoosier, this is the first time I've found Persimmons anywhere here. I got them from one of the big box stores. I want to make a Persimmon Pudding. I saw your recipe, it looked a lot like what I grew up with in Indiana. All the recipes on the Internet and absolutely no one says how to make you pulp with these persimmons. S Please can you help before they go bad? I need your help!
You can make the pulp by putting them into your food processor or if they are wild persimmons and are plenty ripe you can simply put them in a big strainer and just keep mashing them till all the pulp goes through and leaves behind the seeds. We always had wild persimmons at my grandmothers, I like the wild ones much better, I think they have a much more pronounced taste and are much smaller with
four big seeds.
You can mail order pulp from Tuttle Orchard in Greenfield, IN. Very good service. Sent frozen hard!
Possum up a simmon tree. Raccoon on the ground. Possum says to the old raccoon, shake those Simmons down.
What does it taste like? Pumpkin?
It is hard to say what it taste like, it is some what similar to pumpkin but with more of a sharp taste.
Can I come over for Dinner?
Persimmons we had four trees in our front yard that people would stop and ask if they could have some. Yes, was our answer and you can take the trees with you. You can imagine they grew white blossoms that fell to the ground and later small persimmons. Like you said when they hit the ground they were mushy. Playing in the yard on this mess was hard as well as trying to mow. They were so tart as you said.
Wht r they?
Phyllis could it be made into a pie? It reminds me of pumpkin pie mix.
Good idea, it could be made into a pie.
I love persimmons but find they are best after a hard frost.....
My grandparents had two very large persimmon trees close to their house, my grandfather would spread a lot of pine straw under those trees as far out as the limbs reached starting about the first of August each year. My grandmother then gathered persimmons every morning from those that had fallen on their own. She did this to get to them before the wasp and bees found them. When they fell from the tree on their own they were okay even before the first frost. After the first frost probably the end of September in North Carolina all the persimmons would be good. I think the wasp and bees got a little drunk eating those persimmons that had been on the ground for a while and fermented.
Could you make this into a persimmon pie?
You could sure give it a try.
Just heard from my boy in fayette ville and all seems ok there.
Tuttle orchards in greenfield in have pulp.
Sorry. Greenfield, Indiana
Don’t put the cellophane on the vinegar and make sure the container is very shallow, like a mayonnaise jar lid
Hi Ms. Phyllis. A way I like eating the Japanese persimmons is to wash them, remove the leafy bits on top, and put them whole in the freezer for about 4-6 hours or until they are partly frozen. Then cut off the top and scoop out the pulp: it's like sherbet.
Brilliant idea, thanks.
We call persimmon Sharon fruit in the UK. The ones here are very bland.
Mama would open the seeds and we would find a white middle in the shape of a fork or a spoon. My granddaddy's farm, very old tree. Good memories, thanks Phyllis.
....fruit flies can't get back out of the mug or cup .... the holes just can't be found. You punch several tiny holes and voila! GONE --- They sure can find the tiniest hole to get IN. They want that vinegar. over a good sized mug with the generous slosh of vinegar. never saw him again.
Apple cider vinegar and dish and a smaal amount of dish soap!
I have a tree full to the max I did not know you can eat that
I have like 5 tree load it if you want some let me know
May I make a suggestion? Next time you do this please keep the camera on the food that you are making. I wanted to see you spill the persimmon pudding into the pan. I like watching how all things are done instead of looking at your face and the explanation. We can hear what you are saying while watching the recipe the preparation of the food.
Well noted - thank you.
You're welcome!
