Did you know that we have "food seasons" in Indiana?
Sure, we do!
Tomato season! Strawberry season! And right now, it's persimmon season!
Home bakers with nostalgic feelings for their closely held family recipes all over Indiana and beyond are on the hunt for persimmons and not just persimmons- persimmon pulp!
The fruit is easy to find from about now through September across Indiana, specifically southern Indiana. But it requires a bit of kitchen time to mash and process out the seeds and skins. Not impossible, but a bit time consuming.
But this popular Indiana food is made simpler to use by buying persimmon pulp which can be easily stored in the refrigerator and used as needed. Indiana persimmon pulp has many uses from sauces, cakes, puddings, to even wine and beer!
