My Mom's Persimmon Pudding

When I was a young girl my mom would make Persimmon Pudding.
I had thought of it over the year's and remembered it fondly;
but didn't realize the recipe was tucked inside my recipe box.
One day, not so long ago, I saw it there and knew this year
we would have Persimmon Pudding for our Christmas celebration.
Yes, it was as I remembered, oh sooooo very good.
I thought maybe you would like the recipe too.

My Mom's Persimmon Steamed Pudding

1 cup persimmon pulp (took two persimmons)
1/2 cup sugar
2 Tablespoons melted butter
1 well beaten egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 cup chopped nuts
3/4 cup raisins (I didn't have any, so used cranberries)

Put together in order and bake in casserole dish or pudding mold for 1 1/4 hours at 350 degrees oven.
Set dish or mold in a pan of water in the oven, so it will steam.

Note:  We served it with vanilla ice cream, but a nice hard sauce or lemon sauce would be lovely.

    I'm keeping this in my files as I'd like to try it someday. I have my great aunt's fig pudding that my dad remembered having had when he was young. I'd love to fix it for him again. My late husband also loved it!♥♫

    Christmas Day has flown past. Just now I have a quiet moment between bouts of after-Christmas sale shopping. I wanted to stop by and wish you all the joys of the season. As the quiet week approaches, may you find time to do all the things you most love. May you know, each day, how very blessed and loved you are. Happy Holidays, friend. ~ Relyn

    Does this ever look good Marilyn, not sure what a persimmon is, but I think I'll have to look them up. Hope your day was a great one!

    Mmm! This looks and sounds divine, and I love your substitution of the cranberries. And ... I have a pudding mold I've not used!
