How to Make Persimmon Bread- Wild Persimmons

After the first frost is a good time.
I don't know about you but the trees were loaded around here. And do I love persimmons. I love fruit breads, too.

Difficulty: Moderate

• 2 eggs

• 1 1/2 cups flour (all-purpose)

Tips & Warnings

• Make sure the persimmons are skinned. The skin can make your lips pucker for a week!
• Be sure to gather persimmons after the first frost, because they're good and ripe then. And the pulp won't make you pucker for another week!
• Spread lots of butter on and enjoy!!
• Careful the bread is hot. I know you want a piece of that nice, fresh, hot bread. But you'll have to give it a chance to rest a little.
