TL;DRI: Some things that should not have been forgotten were lost. There’s a reason recipes can’t be copyrighted. That’s because plagiarism is a time-honored tradition in cooking. Take, for example, this traditional (old fashioned, Hoosier favorite) Indiana Persimmon Pudding recipe: o Indiana Persimmon Pudding Recipe: How to Make It | Taste of Home I’m betting that it’s very similar to a recipe purportedly published scandalously by the New York Times that also called for an exotic ingredie…

… but, to your question about how to treat bad-tasting persimmons, I can only say I don’t know. How big is the fruit? Did you pick it, or did it fall? Was there frost?

The tree was quite tall, but we managed to shake down some of what didn’t drop. The grass cushioned the fall. The fruit was quite soft. When ripe, it had a purple haze on the skin and was sweet, eaten out of hand.
