Holiday Baking | Persimmon Bread | Vlogmas Day 6

Published 2017-11-29
This year I have decided to participate in Vlogmas 2017.. What is Vlogmas? I will be posting videos daily from now until Christmas, showing how our family celebrates the season. Vlogmas is like a modern day advent calendar and it is my hope to spread some Holiday cheer. Vlogmas Day 6 is dedicated to holiday baking, specifically Persimmon Bread. Shelby

Persimmon Bread recipe;
-3 cups sugar
-4 eggs
-1 cup canola oil (or any neutral oil)
-1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
-1 1/2 teaspoons salt
-1 cup persimmon pulp (about 2 persimmons)
-2/3 cup water
-2 teaspoons baking soda
-3 cups flour
-1 cup chopped walnuts
Mix together the first 6 ingredients. Add persimmon pulp and water. Gradually mix in flour, and baking soda. Fold in walnuts. My mom used to bake hers in a one pound coffee can, but I bake mine in the mini loaf pans that have been sprayed with cooking spray and dusted with flour. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 50 minutes. Turn out onto cooling rack. Simply the BEST! Shelby

  • I recently received a bag of persimmons from my brother in-law and remembered watching your video. I made the bread for Christmas and it was a huge hit with everyone! It was delicious and there were many compliments. Thanks for sharing!!

    I've made this recipe twice and I find the cook time way too short if you are using 2 large loaf pans. (It makes the right amount for that, but you need to bake for at least 65-70 minutes. Because persimmons get sweeter as they get more ripe, you may find the sugar excessive... and I think it makes the breads scorch easily. I put a tin foil hat on the bread for about half the baking time so they look more attractive. It's a very dense bread, almost like a fruit cake. Tasty, but be prepared for a long baking and cooling time. This is not a project to start after 8pm or so... as you'll be going for some hours. Very holiday bread.

    Thank you so much. This was so easy and delicious. I've made 3 batches of this already. I modified the recipe and added more hachiya persimmon ( I have a tree) to it and only used 2 cups of sugar and it was amazing. I appreciate you sharing this with the world. Much love from New Jersey. ❤👍🏽 Happy belated Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. 😁❤❤❤🙌🏽🙏🏽
