I have tried persimmon pudding many years ago so I thought I would buy some pulp from a lady in town who has several trees. I am always looking to introduce the kids to new foods, especially local ones. The color is lovely and the taste is hard to describe. With the orange color, you might expect it to taste like pumpkin but it doesn't. I made some cookies with half the pulp and plan to make bread with the remaining half pint. I am going to buy a few more pints for the freezer tomorrow.

1 c. sugar
