Sour Lemon Sauce For Persimmon Pudding Recipes

PERSIMMON PUDDING WITH LEMON SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place a pan of water in the bottom of the oven to provide extra humidity.
• Place chopped dates in the brandy or rum, and allow to rest there for 20 minutes (or longer).
• Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, and beat well. Incorporate the persimmon pulp, flour, baking powder, coriander, dates soaked in brandy, vanilla extract and walnuts. Mix well. Pour into six buttered custard cups, a Bundt mold, or bread pans. In small containers the puddings should be done in about 25 minutes; in a mold it may take nearly an hour. Check with a skewer or thin knife. It should come out clean. Add more water to the pan in the oven if necessary.
• Set on wire rack to cool. When completely cool, remove from pan(s) and wrap until ready to use (see Note).

PERSIMMON PUDDING WITH HARD SAUCE

Steps:

• To make the pudding, in a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar with an electric mixer at medium speed. Add the flour, 1/2 cup at a time, alternating with the persimmon pulp, brandy, eggs, and baking soda mixture. Stir in the vanilla, spices, walnuts, and raisins and mix on low until the butter comes together, about 5 minutes.
• Butter the top and bottom of a 2-quart pudding mold with a lid. Spoon in the mixture. Put the buttered lid on tightly and lock into place. Put the mold in a bigger pot filled with water to come halfway up the side of the mold; cover the pot. It is necessary to have a well-buttered mold and enough water for ample steam for this pudding to come out right. Bring the water to a simmer and let simmer over medium-low heat for about 2 hours. Make sure the water doesn't evaporate; add more hot water if it does. The pudding should be checked with a cake tester. When the tester comes out clean, the pudding is done. Take the mold out of the water and unmold when cool, 1 to 2 hours.
• While the pudding is steaming, prepare the hard sauce. Cream the butter and sugar together with an electric mixer. Beat in the brandy. Chille at least 1 hour. Serve with the warm pudding.
