50 LBS!!! WILD Persimmons Harvest : Persimmon Pudding

Ойын-сауық

In Todays Chronicle I'm doing some foraging for Wild Persimmons. These grow wild throughout Indiana, and many people enjoy harvesting them to make persimmon pudding. Everything from tree identification, how to determine if a persimmon is ripe, how to process them once they're picked.... its all covered in this video!

    If they are black or nasty looking they are ready to eat. Use your drill press to smash blend them. Like a blender with ofset washers on a piece of all thread. Use your fastest speed. If your blending cup has a windows creen bottom only the good stuff vibrates through the screen into a bottom clear glass cup/jar.

    Awesome video! I'm new to the American Persimmon world, as the property I recently purchased has 4 lovely trees that are bearing fruit. Quick question...milling seems to be done to remove the skins and seeds, but since the skins are edible (and healthy), why wouldn't you want to keep them as part of the final product? Put another way, why not just remove the seeds and keep the rest? Thanks for any insight you can provide, and keep up the great videos!

    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!

    @@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.

    @@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.👍👍✌👊👊
