- For the Pudding: Stir together sugar and butter in a bowl. Sift flour with salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add in to butter mix. Add in persimmon pulp. Dissolve baking soda in hot water. Add in 3 Tbsp. brandy and vanilla. Add in to flour mix. Add in Large eggs and mix lightly but thoroughly. Add in raisins and nuts, if you like.
- Pour into buttered 5- to 6-c. heat-proof mold or possibly loaf pan. Top mold with parchment paper and cover with heat-proof plastic wrap. Place on wire rack in kettle or possibly Dutch oven. Pour in sufficient boiling water to reach halfway up sides of mold. Cover kettle and simmer 2 1/2 to 3 hrs.
- Let stand a few min. Throw away plastic wrap and parchment paper. Unmold onto heat-proof serving plate. Pour about 1/4 c. warmed brandy over pudding and ignite, being careful to keep hands, clothing and face out of reach. Serve with Brandy Whipped Cream Sauce.
- For the Brandy Whipped Cream Sauce: Beat egg till light and fluffy. Beat in butter, sugar, salt and brandy flavoring. Beat whipping cream till stiff. Gently fold into egg mix. Cover and chill.
- This recipe yields 6 to 8 servings.
- Caution: Although many recipes call for uncooked Large eggs, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has found them to be a potential carrier of food-borne illness and recommends which infants, the elderly and immuno-compromised people avoid raw Large eggs.
