Tried 'n' True: Persimmon Bars: A little something different for the holidays

By Jackie Lindley
Special to the Tribune-Star

While looking through some of my recipes, I came upon this one for persimmons. Since this is the beginning of the holiday season, this recipe will be something a little different to try. I have enjoyed everyone who sends me recipes. But I would really like for you to put your name on them. I won’t use your name in this column unless you give me permission. We have enjoyed these bars for years.



Glazed Persimmon Bars

1 cup persimmon pulp

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1 egg

1-1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

1-3/4 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon clove (optional)

1-1/2 cups chopped dates or raisins

1 cup chopped nuts



Glaze

1 cup powdered sugar

2 tablespoon lemon juice

• In a mixing bowl combine the first five ingredients and mix well.

• Combine all dry ingredients and add to persimmon and sugar mixture.

• Stir in dates and nuts.

• Spread into a greased 15x10x1 inch cookie sheet pan.

• Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.

• Cool in pan.

• Spread glaze over bars.

Makes about four dozen bars.
