PERSIMMON-PUMPKIN PIE

Steps:

• For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray a 9-inch-diameter glass or ceramic pie dish with vegetable oil cooking spray.
• In a food processor, blend the flour, sugar and salt until combined. Add the butter and mascarpone cheese and blend until moist clumps form. Gather the dough into a ball. Drop 2-inch pieces of dough over the bottom and sides of the pie dish. Using moist fingertips press the dough together to form a smooth crust. Using the tines of a fork, prick the dough all over.
• Bake the crust until the edge is browned and the center of the crust is pale golden, about 25 minutes. Transfer the crust to a work surface. Brush the bottom and sides of the crust with apricot preserves.
• For the filling: In a food processor, combine the pumpkin and persimmon. Blend until smooth. Add the sugar, mascarpone, cream, cornstarch, cinnamon, salt and eggs. Blend until smooth. Pour the filling into the cooked crust.
• Bake the pie until slits or cracks appear around the edge and the center is set, about 35 minutes. Cool the pie on a rack. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Bake and cool to room temperature. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate.)
• Just before serving, dust the top of the pie with powdered sugar. Cut into wedges and serve.

PERSIMMON AND CRANBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Put the diced persimmons, cranberries and 1 3/4 cups of the apple juice in a saucepan. Add the cinnamon and nutmeg.
• Heat over medium low heat until the cranberry skins split.
• Combine the remaining 1/4 cup of apple juice with the 1/4 cup of cornstarch.
• Add the cornstarch/juice mixture to the persimmon mixture and stir until thickened.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the Splenda until well blended.
• Set aside to cool while you prepare the pie crust; put it in a 9" pie pan. If you're using pre-made pie crusts allow the mixture to cool until very warm but not hot.
• Put the mixture in the pie pan and top with the second crust in whatever manner you like. (I used free-floating pastry cut-outs).
• Bake at 400F for 30 to 40 minutes, until the filling is bubbly. Be sure to put a cookie sheet or sheet of aluminum foil on the rack below the pie to catch any drips. (Putting the pie directly on the cookie sheet will disrupt the flow of hot air around the pie).

PERSIMMON TART

Steps:

• Pastry: Pulse flour, confectioners' sugar, and salt in a food processor until combined. Add butter; pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal with some pea-size pieces remaining. Add egg yolks; pulse until no dry flour remains but dough is still crumbly (do not overmix, or pastry will be tough). Shape dough into a flat disk; wrap tightly in plastic. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll dough out to a 12-inch round (a scant 1/4 inch thick). Transfer to an 11-by-1-inch fluted tart pan; trim flush with edges. Prick dough all over with the tines of a fork. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake until crust is dry and golden, about 25 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
• Filling: Meanwhile, thoroughly clean and dry persimmons; remove tops and cores. Coarsely chop and press through a medium-mesh sieve or chinois strainer, or process through a food mill, discarding any solids left behind. (You should have 1 3/4 cups.)
• In a small saucepan, combine cream, cinnamon, star anise, clove, cardamom, and peppercorns. Bring to a bare simmer over medium-high heat. Cover, remove from heat, and let stand 1 hour. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl (discarding solids). Whisk in persimmon purée, brown sugar, whole eggs and yolks, ginger, nutmeg, and salt until smooth. Transfer filling to cooled crust.
• Bake until filling is puffed slightly and set along edges but still wobbly in the center (it will continue to set as it cools), 35 to 45 minutes. Let cool completely on wire rack, about 2 hours. Transfer to a cake plate or stand. Sprinkle top evenly with half of granulated sugar, and wave a kitchen torch over sugar until it's golden brown. Let cool until crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining granulated sugar. Lightly dust edges of tart with confectioners' sugar; serve.
