I was on a mission to pick persimmons to make steamed persimmon pudding. There are several persimmon trees here at The Bishop\u2019s Ranch and as always there was an abundance of persimmons. Yesterday I noticed that most were gone or fallen to the ground, or pecked to the stem by grateful ravenous birds; birds who can\u2019t believe their luck to find such a treat just days from a solstice dark night. This frosty morning I realized that if I don\u2019t get some now I wouldn\u2019t be able to make my Aunt Lorraine steamed pudding.<\/p>\n<p>My Aunt Lorraine turned 90 this October and I brought her some stone hard persimmons as a gift. As a thank you she sent me her recipe for steamed persimmon pudding\u2026 and in her Christmas card I got this week she asked me if I\u2019d made it yet. So you can see I felt duty bound to honor this women with the making of a steamed pudding!<\/p>\n<p>As I often do I started making the recipe before reading through the entire directions. My batter was made before I realized I\u2019d need a \u201c6 cup greased metal mold\u201d \u2013 opps \u2013 I could picture what I think I need, my grandma had all these copper decorative pans with fluted sides \u2013 I think that\u2019s what I need \u2013 all I have is a Bundt pan \u2013 it will have to do. As I read on I realized I need to fit this Bundt pan into a large kettle \u2013 it just fits! Uh oh how do I get it out? I need to put water in the bottom of the pan\u2026 with a bit of kitchen twine and some knotting skills I managed to rig a string lift to check the water. Now I\u2019m ready to go! What? \u201cSteam for 2 \u00bd hours\u201d. With time on my hands I did this little painting of some persimmons waiting on my windowsill. Still more time and I\u2019m writing this blog and connecting with you\u2026 still 59 minutes to go, I guess I should clean the kitchen now. But not before I give thanks for persimmons, and family recipes, and the gift of time for this disorganized cook to paint and ponder and reach out to you.<\/p>\n<p>Be well this holiday season and take time, however it presents itself, to give thanks for all the beauty and love swirling around the long dark nights and short crisp days of Solstice.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3078\" style=\"width: 910px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3078\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3078\" src=\"https:\/\/lisathorpeartist.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/12\/273b-recipe.jpg?resize=900%2C1160\" alt=\"273b.recipe\" width=\"900\" height=\"1160\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-3078\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>This is my Aunt Lorraine&#8217;s recipe, I can&#8217;t say how it came out because it&#8217;s still on the stove&#8230; but the batter was tasty! 49 minutes to go and fingers crossed that I can get it out of the Bundt pan!<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I went for an early morning walk today.
