Directions:
Cream butter, beat in sugar and vanilla (or vanilla, brandy, and lemon juice), add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in persimmon pulp and milk. Then add dry ingredients which have been mixed together. Add lemon peel, raisins and nuts, mixing well. Spoon into a well-greased 8 c. mold. Place on a trivet in a deep pot. Add boiling water to half-way up the mold. Cover the pot, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 2 hours. DO NOT take lid off during cooking, or the pudding (cake) will fall. Remove mold from pot. Let pudding stand in mold for 20 mins. Turn out on rack and cool completely.
Mom had a note on her recipe that,”Persimmon Pudding is good served with Brandy Sauce, Lemon Sauce, or Creamy Sauce”, so I included those recipes in the cookbook.
