These are very sweet, which is why the bars are cut into small pieces, but the flavor is wonderful. There is a similar recipe on Zaar, but it has some differences and seems the method was giving reviewers a problem so I thought I'd post this as an alternative. Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups persimmons, diced fine |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 large egg |
1 cup granulated sugar |
1/2 cup canola oil |
1 cup dates, chopped |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
1 teaspoon nutmeg |
1/4 teaspoon clove |
1 cup walnuts, chopped (or pecans) |
1/2 cup powdered sugar |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
Directions:
1. Mix baking soda into diced persimmons (they will be nearly pulp, but have a few chunks left).
2. In a large bowl, lightly beat egg, stir in sugar, oil, 1 Tblsp lemon juice and dates.
3. Combine flour with salt and spices in a separate bowl.
4. Add flour mixture to date mixture, alternating with persimmons, just until well blended.
5. Stir in nuts and spread evenly in 10 x 15 jelly roll pan that has been greased and floured.
6. Bake at 350 degrees for about 20-25 minutes (test for doneness with a pick). Cool for 5 minutes.
7. Mix powdered sugar with 2 Tblsp lemon juice and drizzle over bars.
8. Cool completely and cut into 1 x 1 1/2 bars.
