Its a nostalgic treat that brings home-style warmth to the table, making it an ideal choice for special occasions or when you want something indulgent yet simple to prepare.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat a kettle or steamer pot with enough water to come 2/3 up the sides of a 1-quart pudding mold.
  2. In a large bowl, combine persimmon puree, sugar, beaten egg, and softened butter. Beat until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cinnamon, and baking soda.
  4. Stir the dry ingredients into the persimmon mixture along with the milk and chopped raisins. Mix until just combined.
  5. Generously butter a 1-quart steamed pudding mold.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared mold.
  7. Cover the mold tightly with a lid or heavy foil secured with kitchen string.
  8. Place the mold on a rack in the kettle over the hot water.
  9. Steam the pudding covered for 2 hours over moderate heat, ensuring the water level remains adequate.
  10. Remove the pudding from the kettle and let it stand on a rack for 15 minutes.
  11. Carefully invert the pudding onto a serving plate.
  12. Serve warm with vanilla sauce.
