Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 1/2 cups persimmon pulp Hachiya variety
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 3/4 cups brown sugar
  • 1 cup canola oil or another neutral oil
  • 4 egg
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon cloves ground
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups white whole wheat flour
  • 1 1/2 cups walnuts chopped
  • 1 1/2 cup dried fruit raisins, cranberries, dates (chopped - optional
  • glaze from persimmon cookies

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 and lightly grease and flour 2 loaf pans (9"x5"x3").
  2. Whisk flours together in a separate bowl and set aside.
  3. Remove skin and stem from persimmon. Place pulp in a small mixing bowl and mash. 
  4. Add baking soda to persimmon pulp and mix in. Let sit for 5 minutes. This will thicken the pulp.
  5. In a medium bowl combine sugar, oil, eggs, spices and salt. Blend until smooth. 
  6. Alternatively mix in flour, persimmon and water. Fold in nuts and fruit. Top with additional nuts if desired.
  7. Fill batter in prepared loaf pans each to 2/3 full.
  8. Bake for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. 
  9. Add glaze from persimmon cookies if desired (optional)

Notes

  • Tent loaves with foil if the bread is not ready in 60 minutes to prevent the top from getting too dark.
  • Each loaf will give you about 16 slices of persimmon bread.
