WINTER TIME means PERSIMMON BANANA BREAD

 

I was given  a bunch of "donut" Persimmons several weeks ago.

They were hard as a rock and I ran out of patience waiting for them to ripen.

So I got to thinking.. Why not microwave them and turn them into pulp..???

I cored them, used my potato peeler to get the skin off, cut them into quarters...

Dumped them into a microwave bowl, added some water and nuked them for 3 minutes......

Wahlaa .... smashed them with my potato masher, let it cool and there you go...

Pulp...

I made banana bread using a yellow cake mix, 1 egg, mashed 1 1/2 banana (that's all the banana I had) and about 2 cups of the persimmon pulp.

Stirred until every thing was mixed completely..batter was sort of stiff.

Poured it into a greased bread pan    Baked for about 40 minutes at 350F.

This is the beauty that came out.

Yummy, moist, not too sweet....just perfect!!!






Wish you could have a slice and a cuppa with me...😊

Well aren't you Miss Clever!! I love whar you did. How creative, the microwave. someome on Joyce's fb recomended freezing and defrosting to ripen them. But I like the microwave solution better. The bread looks delicious.
