Good morning, Sunshine and Happy Happy Tuesday.
The persimmons are still dropping from the trees.
For the last couple of years, mom and I have been making Persimmon Bread. It is a yummy fall treat to enjoy with a spot of coffee. Though I have not made any yet, it is certainly on the agenda.
MOM' S PERSIMMON BREAD
YIELDS: 1 Loaf
INGREDIENTS:
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups of all purpose flour
3/4 cup of sugar
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 cup of vegetable oil
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1 cup of persimmon pulp
1/2 cup of chopped walnuts
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1/2 cup of raisins
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 325 and grease a 9 " x 4" loaf pan.
2. In a small bowl combine flour , salt , cinnamon and raisins.
3. In a second bowl, blend eggs, sugar and oil. Mix in persimmon pulp and baking soda. Fold into flour mixture and then pour into baking loaf pan.
4. Bake for 75 minutes or until a wooden skewer comes out clean when inserted into the middle.
5. Enjoy
In the past I have added dried 1/4 cup of cranberries with 1/4 cup of raisins and substituted pecans for walnuts. It was very tasty as well.
Will you be cooking for Thanksgiving? Mr. Pinker and I will be cooking side dishes to take over to my Mom's on Thanksgiving Day. As of right now I have Green bean Casserole and Cranberry Marshmallow Salad along with Potato Salad on the menu.
My sister will bring some sides as well. Mom is in full charge of the turkey and dressing. Mmm - my mouth waters just thinking about it.
Of course mac and cheese, stuffed celery , candied yams, mashed taters, baked beans and coleslaw are going to be included on the menu, but I am looking for some other sides.
Do you have any suggestions ?
Well , Sweeties, I am off to look through cookbooks. I hope you enjoy your day and thank you for dropping by.
As always...
Happy quilting and stitching, ya'll

Dedicated to my dear sister, Amy who loved to cook and grocery shop . Love and miss you., Amo ❤❤
Ya'll come back now, ya hear !
I am joining these lovely ladies' link parties. I hope you check them out; they always have so many wonderful projects going on and provide the opportunity for other needle workers to meet.
Trees , trees, trees. I will be adding trees to my Winter at Pineberry Lane today. This is a future freebie.
Holey Moley that's some menu!!! All I ever cared about was turkey (the dark meat), mashed taters, gravy, jellied cranberry sauce and stuffing. If there's even one raisin in that stuffing I ain't eating it. No ma'am - no raisins or candied yams. No, No, No!!!
ReplyDeleteBTW, I did not realize you had another sister - that's wonderful. Enjoy your Tuesday!! Hugs to you. Darlene J
No candied yams? No raisins? Hee! Hee! I have to admit that turkey and the dressing is my favorite and I would be fine and dandy with just them . LOL. We will have about 20 + people so it will be a good gathering. Oh yes, I have 1 more sister and a brother. We are lost without our baby sis though. Have a terrific Tuesday, sweet Darlene. Big hugs.
DeleteNo turkey or anything like that in The Netherlands, because we do not celebrate Thanksgiving Day.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy all the preparations !
Have a nice day !
Good morning, Annielies and Happy Tuesday. Thanksgiving is one of my family's favorite holidays. We always look forward to Mom's home cooking especially the turkey and dressing. Hopefully, I will find a few more dishes to make. Enjoy your day and thank you for dropping by. Hugs.
DeleteNo turkey or other goodies. We do not have Thanksgiving here in Germany as you have. We have Erntedankfest, but this celebrated in church.
ReplyDeleteThe menue sounds yummy. Enjoy!
Hugs, Gabi
