| I have never done it, but I know alot of people around here who have persimmon trees make persimmon "pulp" and freeze it, then add it to cookies, cakes, and other things. Maybe you could use a food mill to get the seeds and peels separated from the good stuff? The persimmon cookies I have had are great, but my DH's aunt made something called persimmon pudding that was NOT so great. More of like a steamed pudding/cake thing, not like Jello-pudding. Good luck! |

The persimmon cookies that have been made in my family are dark and very moist almost cake like. They have pecans and raisins, very flavorful. I'll get busy and look up our recipe if you want it, just email me. Toni is correct we use slightly over ripe ones and through the food mill they go, I've never frozen it but, that's a great idea.

| After visiting one year, my aunt sent me her recipe for cookies. I'll see if I can find it and get it to you. My fruit gets eaten by the deer before I can get it, so I have never had enough to make the cookies. |

| I sliced and dried some persimmons in the dehydrator for snacks and they were great. |
