The Request:
"When I was
little my grandmother made persimmon cookies and
pudding, these were a family
favorites. I am looking for a persimmon cookies recipe that has the persimmon
pulp, raisins and spices. She also made a persimmon pudding that she baked.
All I remember was that she mixed the persimmon pudding and baked it the removed
it from the over and put a sauce on top and baked it again. I have searched
several different sites and can not find these recipes. Do you have anyone out
there who may have the recipes?"
