The bars are great: moist chewy and good. Here are the changes I recommend: melted butter not oil; using more persimmon 3 ripe persimmons instead of 2 and/or adding some shredded Fuyu (the little crunchy ones). And less baking soda: 3/4 t. baking soda is enough. I also prefer a less spicy bar with only 1/2 t. cinnamon 3/4 t. fresh grated nutmeg and no cloves.
Great recipe! I followed one reviewer's suggestion of adding an extra persimmon skipping the cloves and using butter instead of oil. (I made an additional modification and mixed in 1 tsp of pure vanilla extract with the beaten egg and sugar). The bars were super moist and tasty...almost like indulging in a delicious carrot cake. I topped mine with cream cheese frosting and they were FANTASTIC. Note: with my version the bars weren't ready until 40-45 minutes (about twice as long as the original 20 minutes called out in the recipe)...still very much worth the wait!
Excellent! I went with melted butter, 1 tsp vanilla, 2 tbsp cinnamon, 1 tbsp allspice, 1 tsp ginger. I used pecans and golden raisins, then topped w/ cream cheese frosting. Everyone loved them!
I make this in the fall from our home-grown persimmons and everyone asks for the recipe. It's quicker than cookies and turns out great every time. I make 1 1/2 batches to fit in a my larger jelly-roll pan.
This was the first time I have cooked with persimmons and I was pleasantly surprised. I left out the raisins because I don't care for them but it was still very delicious!
A wonderful recipe! I made it just as it stated and they are great. Thank you for sharing!
I have made persimmon cookies for many years and I have a great recipe; but now I am so busy so I looked for a bar recipe and honestly my husband and I both said the bars are delicious! Thank you for sharing grandma's recipe!
not really "bars" more like a bread
These are really good! I left out the nutmeg and cloves because I don't care for the taste. I had to double up on the glaze also.
