Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups ripe hachiya persimmon puree (about 3 fruits; see
  • 1/3 cup molasses
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (about 9 oz)
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/3 cup boiling water
  • cooking spray

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. Place brown sugar and butter in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until well blended (about 3 minutes). Add persimmon puree, molasses, and eggs; beat well (about 1 minute).
  3. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Sift together flour and next 6 ingredients (through cloves). Add flour mixture and 1/3 cup boiling water alternately to persimmon mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Stir in almonds. Pour batter into a 9-inch square baking pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes. Cool 10 minutes in pan on a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar. Cut into 12 squares.
  4. Persimmon Puree Pointers. Ripe Hachiya puree is easy to make by following these tips:
  5. To speed the ripening process, freeze the fruit overnight or until solid. Thaw the persimmon; when soft, it will be sweeter and less astringent.
  6. Cut the ripe fruit in half. Scoop the pulp out with a spoon.
  7. To achieve an even consistency, place the flesh in a mini-chopper and process until smooth. This ensures the persimmon puree will incorporate evenly into the batter.
