Was: pumpkin pie made w/ coconut milk?

[Guest guest]

My (Greek) father grew up in southern Indiana, where he used to find persimmons

and make a pudding with them. These were the kind that would make you pucker,

especially if they were not ripe. I much prefer the fuyu kind that are hard and

can be eaten like an apple.

The persimmons must be soft an mushy to be ripe and then they are sweet and do

not dry the mouth.

They are also very gelatinous at this stage and that is why blending them with

the dates and pumpkin spices makes it

just like pumpkin pie in taste and texture.

God bless you.

Thanks for the reminding me of my childhood Kathy. I grew up in

California and we had a persimmon tree in the yard. My mom made

persimmon pudding and we used lemons from our yard to make the sauce too.
