Servings: persons

1 cup Persimmon Pulp
1/2 cups Vegetable Shortening
1 cup Granulated Sugar
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
2 cubes All-purpose Flour
1 whole Egg, Beaten
1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
1/2 teaspoons Ground Nutmeg
1/2 teaspoons Ground Cloves
1/2 teaspoons Salt
1 cup Pecans Or Walnuts, Chopped
1 cup Raisins (or Currants)

1
I use Fuyu Persimmons. Make sure your persimmons are very ripe and soft, cut in half, then scoop out the pulp with a spoon, breaking it up a bit in the bowl if needed. It took me 3 average sized persimmons to get just over 1 Cup of pulp.
2
Mix persimmon pulp, shortening, sugar and baking soda in a large mixing bowl until creamy. Add remaining ingredients and mix until totally combined.
3
Drop by teaspoons (I use a small cookie scooper) onto a greased cookie sheet and bake at 325F for 12-15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
4
You can also bake the cookies in a greased mini muffin tin for 15 minutes, allow to cool a bit in the pan, then cool completely on a wire rack.
