When I was a kid, I would go visit my grandparents in California. It was always pleasant spending time with them and being doted on by their friends who thought we were the cutest things to hit San Jose (and we were, ha, ha). As I've gotten older, my grandparent's friends have continued to be so kind and generous and it allows me to relive those fond memories. This past week, their friends sent me a whole BOX of persimmons from their tree. So sweet :) Oh what to do with a box of persimmons? Well, you make these delectable nuggets, of course...
Persimmon Cookies
1 C Persimmon pulp (best when persimmons are over-ripe and mushy)
1 tsp baking soda spread over pulp
1 C sugar
1 egg, beaten
1/2 C shortening
2 C flour
1 C walnuts
1 C raisins
1 tsp. Cinnamon
1/2 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
Combine ingredients as listed, sifting flour with spices and salt. Add walnuts and raisins; drop by teaspoonfuls on cookie sheet. Bake 12 minutes at 350 degrees. Makes about 4 dozen.
