Persimmon Pudding

Breads, Flatbreads and Savory Pastries

Persimmon pudding is a baked or steamed dessert made from persimmon pulp, associated with the American Midwest where the native American persimmon grows. Recipes vary but commonly include cornmeal or flour, brown sugar or molasses, and warming spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg. The result is a dense, chewy dessert often compared to gingerbread cake, usually served warm with ice cream, whipped cream or a brandy sauce.
