Persimmon Recipes

This is a good recipe for persimmon cookies. These cookies are wonderfully sweet and delicious.

Cooked in a slow cooker, this is an easy and excellent way to use the fruit of a Fuyu persimmon tree. Spicy and full of natural sweetness, the jars make wonderful gifts or keep well in the refrigerator for one's own use. This spread is used just like jelly or apple butter and it is especially delicious on a hearty whole grain toasted bread.

This is an old family recipe. We use the Hachiya variety of persimmons. This is a very spicy, very elegant holiday cookie. Pecans can be substituted for walnuts.

This pie has a creamy texture, and it is easy to make. Serve with whipped cream, if desired.

Just like a pineapple upside-down cake but with persimmons instead! You can use soft persimmon pulp to make the batter or just use a standard white cake batter recipe.

It's tough making dessert for someone cutting back on gluten and dairy. Luckily, pavlovas are gluten free and really easy. The toppings are easy to customize - I made the lemon curd dairy free and served whipped cream on the side.

This recipe has been handed down in our family since 1850. It's a Thanksgiving favorite, hot or cold!

Delicious whole grain cookies your great-grandmother might have made... with a twist! Made with whole wheat, honey, sweet dried fruits, and black walnuts, this chewy cookie is sure to please. What a fun way to enjoy out-of-season fruit and eat a little more wholesome too! They remind me of growing up on my parents' little homestead in Missouri... my mother could do many amazing things with fruit, we never got tired of the same ol' thing with her cooking!

A great fall cookie but can really be enjoyed any time of the year if there's a supply of persimmon pulp in the freezer!

My husband's grandmother, Nonnie, used to make her really unique version of Persimmon Pudding every Thanksgiving. When she wasn't able to make it anymore, my husband asked if I would take over. I did, and am now required to bring this to every fall family gathering! You can serve this warm or let it cool - my family loves it both ways.

This recipe was found in my grandma's recipe box. I made it for Thanksgiving and it was a huge hit!

I put this recipe together to use up some bananas and persimmon that were very very ripe! As soon as they began to bake, my daughter said she could smell autumn.

Sweet fuyu persimmons are at their peak in flavor in this warm, scrumptious treat. A great alternative to the traditional apple, peach or blueberry pie. Perfect for the holiday season!

Add persimmons, who'd-a-thought? Mom made this chili tonight with what she had in the house and it was phenomenal. I had to share. It was a perfect blend of sweet and spicy, warming us up right before the holidays. This fast and easy recipe is definitely one to consider when you are overloaded with all the persimmons someone brought into the office to share. It's simple, and I'm telling you it's amazing.

This warm, sweet compote is a great accouterment to pork and possibly a Christmas turkey. It can also be served warm over a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the daring. Happy holidays!

Great for Christmas Cookies! A spicy and moist cookie made from persimmon pulp. Raisins and nuts make them extra special.

This is an uncooked version of a yummy persimmon pie. It's an excellent dessert for those following a paleo or low-sugar diet. It's delicious!

I love how the sweet persimmon balances out the tartness that you get from the pomegranate arils and creamy goat cheese. Top that with the crunch of sliced almonds, and you have the perfect fall salad.

Handed down from my great great grandmother who received it from her mother. She passed away at 92 years old, but not before giving me her best and oldest recipes. I hope you enjoy!

This is my grandmother's recipe that she made each Thanksgiving when I was growing up. She was a native Hoosier and resided in Orleans, IN for many years. Although not a huge fan of cooking, this is one recipe she made very well and it is always one that makes me remember her fondly. Serve chilled and top with whipped cream.

A wonderfully moist persimmon bread. If you like nuts in your bread, just add 1/2 to 1 cup of your favorites to the batter just before baking.
