Yes - I know several people who have trees, so I can usually manage to get a couple of grocery bags full. Strange thing is that my Mom was the one who did all of the baking with persimmons. Her persimmon pudding was always a favorite of both my brothers. First time I made her recipe on my own was a couple of days before she passed away. She had a bag of persimmons at her house that I cooked up into persimmon pudding for my brothers so it did not go to waste. I've been making persimmon pudding for them each year since. A nice tradition of Mom's for me to carry on for my brother's. They really like me doing it. Fond memories & all that.
