What size loaf pans. I have different sizes and I've had overflow and baking issues when the size was too small.
Hi, Sharon. For this recipe you will need standard size loaf pans, meaning either a 9” x 5” or an 8-1/2” x 4-1/2”.
I received the “persimmons predict the weather” article in an email this morning and reminded me of the cookie recipe posted below. I made them last year during persimmon season, gave a bundle to my neighbors and they are out of this world delicious. Many to thanks to you Catherine!!
I really love this recipe, I'm sure I'll use it many more times in the future. I accidentally used bourbon instead of brandy, but it still tastes great! I'll have to try making it correctly another time, but for now, I'm very happy with the rest.
My parents, bother and sisters could never get enough of Persimmons. I was/am allergic to Persimmons ( mouth puckers up and throat wants to close ) but recently I had some Persimmon bread, not knowing it was Persimmon, and I had no problems. Must be something in the baking process that destroyed whatever I had a problem with. And it was good, so my wife is going to get the recipe and make it, she loves Persimmons.
I'm in my late sixties and I've been on a hunt for a favorite Fall recipe. My ex-husband's grandmother made these wonderful persimmon cookies. They were dollop on the cookies sheet type. And a cake-y type cookie. She's long been gone, almost 50 years, but I can still smell those cookies. She was from Indiana if that gives a hint. Love to get that recipe.
I have had this recipe about 40 years...it was passed down from my mother - from her mother. They are delicious - my family and friends love them. I hope this is what you were looking for.
