50 LBS!!! WILD Persimmons Harvest : Persimmon Pudding 

Lol, glad someone thought so 😂

@@CountryBoyChronicle I’m so surprised you didn’t get more likes on that. Wow what a load of persimmons, I just made some pudding. It was great, I was glad to watch y’all’s video before I did. Keep up the good work. Great content.

Thanks @@alisamoose2132 ! What part of the country do you live in? Not many people know about persimmon pudding lol

No problem :)

Yes sir 👍🏼

Yes sir. Ever make persimmon pudding with them?

@@CountryBoyChronicle no I never heard of persimmon pudding until your video. I'm gonna look it up

I’ll post a follow up talking about it. It’s seriously one of the best desserts you can make. Look up the book “ the perfect persimmon” it was written by my moms best friend lol

Heck yea they do. Where do u live ??

@@CountryBoyChronicle I am in the UK near Manchester.

If you've never tried a persimmon pudding then you are missing out!

@@CountryBoyChronicle I won't be for long! I plan to follow your recipe, for sure!

Freezer first. Then let them sit until they look nasty.

Yes sir!

Thanks Eric! The reason we process them like this is to save time. We could cut the pits out individually with a knife, but that would take a long long time! When you get to processing them later, comment back on this video and let me know how it goes 👍🏼

@@CountryBoyChronicle So I am now in the process of milling...basically pushing them through a large-holed colander with a spoon and spatula. It's tedious work, but seems to be coming along. Definitely will be considering a mill...but not sure yet. First recipe I made was 1/3 cup pulp, 1/3 cup whole oats, pinch of cinnamon. Mixed by hand and formed a patty...put in an air fryer for 10 minutes at 350 (no preheat). Made a pretty tasty cake. Had an astringent bite or two (small price to pay for a 3-ingredient, whole food snack), and I will probably go for 8 minutes next time. Got the inspiration from a guy who mixed persimmons with ground acorns for an ash cake. Thanks for the reply, and I look forward to more videos!

@@elsmooth12 sounds awesome! More videos are on the way!

Yea man! I love harvesting persimmons, I’ve never harvested chestnuts tho! I might do it in the future

I mash the pulp out with an old school "potato ricer" then mix in cinnamon and or pumpkin pie spice mix and dry in sheet pans to make persimmon fruit leather.

@@amandab3650 I have never heard of Persimmon Fruit Leather before. What is it exactly?

@@CountryBoyChronicle spread the pulp thin on wax paper and put in a dehydrator if you have one or oven 130 degrees or so. It will take several hours. Once firm and dry and cool cut into strips with a knife or my fav. A pizza cutter. Persimmon also mixes good with apple sauce I found. The dried product will last a good while.

Sure have my family's big on them in southern Indiana

@@johnsheetz6639 what part of southern Indiana u from??

Lol I’ll have to give that a try!

@@CountryBoyChronicle I take it you havent read your messages for awhile Mate as I put that message up 8 months ago and your just answering me now.😂😂😂 Why don't you'se use the seeds to grow more mate.I find it easier to put the seeds into toilet roll and wet it then keep them in the house near some heat mate but don't let the toilet roll dry out if you do it that way they will root quicker then instead of using soil make a water troff to feed the roots and use organic feed this way they grow quicker you wait till you get atleast a 3cm tree then move them to soil and keep them inside a building thats warm if you do this you will have a good hardy plant after two months or when its planting season put them into the ground and use a good clear tarpolin for the first year this will give you a good harvest from them for years.👍👍✌👊👊

Very true lol. I just don’t want total mush!

Delicious as always 👍🏼👍🏼

@@CountryBoyChronicle I just harvested a few for the first time and it was a very small amount. I’m trying to decide to do pudding Or cookies

@@MsBuggywuggy if u don’t have a bunch I would try cookies 🍪

@@CountryBoyChronicle I think I will! Thank you!

My advice is wait until they are soft and ripe! Hard ones taste like crap

stick em in the freezer, the freezing causes the astringency to go down

Lol no thanks!

Shame you, Crawfisher! I asked an old lady what's this? She said, that's a green persimmon. Take a big old bite, they're real good. What a bitch! What a rotten thing to do to a five year old! I wouldn't eat anything green for years, afraid it was going to make me pucker again. For those that don't know, green persimmons taste terrible

@@terebrown2892 Oh we had everyone in the neighborhood puckered up at one time.

I have. They’re horrible lol!

​@@CountryBoyChronicle can ya say cotton mouth 💀😂☠️🤣

Those 2 in the beginning are actually on my new house spots property! Thanks for checking out the video Michael!
