Harvesting Persimmons and making Persimmon Pulp

- We have a small grove of Persimmon trees at the front of our property. The Persimmons have started to fall, so we are collecting them and making persimmon pulp from them. The pulp can be used in backing recipes. So we will freeze it, so it can be used later.

My grandmother grew up in the countryside of the state of Virgi,. She and my great-grandmother used to make pig feet in the oven. It's awesome to see how others on the other side of the globe in a different culture make them. And it's an honor to have you visit our channel, we can discuss more about our experiences in harvesting and building farms.
You could probably add water to the leftover pulp, skin and seeds and mix it up really well with your hands and squeeze all the good usable pulp from the skins and seeds and strain it out again and use the liquid to make a punch. You can add sugar, lemon or any other fruits. You can use it to make smoothies or add it to any recipe that could use a little sweetness like maybe a pumpkin or winter squash soup maybe? Just a thought. 🥰
Just found a bunch of wild persimmon trees here in Arkansas and I am going to try and make some baking desserts. Thanks to your video I know where to start.
Puréed them you will get a lot more 🙌🏼💕
Tart but delicious, Lucky chickens. ( they look great, by the way.) One of my favorites. So nice to harvest after all the hard work. Thanks for sharing.
Hi...... Thank you for sharing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🎥👍👍👍
Run the pulp through the food mill at least one more time. If it's anything like tomatoes, more pulp can be extracted.
I have a food mill I found on amazon that comes with different plates with different size holes. Not so much waste. Persimmons and I have a love hate relationship. I get pretty orange ones like yours and they can be totally astringent and others look exactly the same are sweet and wonderful. it only takes one or two bad ones i have learned to ruin a batch smh.
I have a couple of trees as well. The persimmons are great.
Thank you very much that was very informative
I keep cranking until what's left looks a lot drier than yours.
But my cheap food mill I got from Amazon just broke after processing enough persimmons to fill 63 two cup containers with pulp.
I watched a video from Oikos farm using a Roma strainer. In the comments they said they use a pumpkin screen (larger holes) and a grape spiral (shorter) with 1 inch cut off the end of it.
That's what I'm getting ready to try.
I just finished pushing native persimmons (the small ones) through a stainless steel sieve -- think wide screen wire. I use gloves to mush them through, then a spatula to push the rest through. They're real ripe and my yield is about 1.5-2 quarts = 2 cups of puree.
Persimmon cake and cookies are good!!!!
I've made pretty decent persimmon bread.
Thanks!
I wondered how to set seeds out!
Lucky chickens!!!!
We process our in a chinois and get nearly all the pulp out of it! See if you can find one at Goodwill or a thrift store.
Get creative brother. Make some jam or spread it out on some sheets in the dehydrator and make fruit leather. Chop it up and vacuum pack it in pint or quart jars and have a yummy snack till it's time to harvest next year.
Possible use of skin and seeds and pulp, Layout on an old car hood under a screen in the sun. Make homemade deer bait for a feeding area/station. Chickens or ducks could get it by mixing it with some feed.
thanks for sharing.
Good idea. I may try that. You can also use it to make persimmon wine.
smalltown442 What about persimmon pancakes 😄
The country folk here in the Appalachians of North Carolina squeeze the pulp out of pantyhose, LOL.....seriously, they do......!
Excellent suggestion! Thanks!
@@abbieharris7293 Great for your "off" hand if you are a golfer! But, anyway, best I have ever found to get just the pulp! I once put them through my Champion Juicer......had to buy a new blade assembly because of the seeds, LOL!
Me in NC trying to figure out how to make pulp that doesn’t cost much. It’s selling $10-15 per 2 cup bag on marketplace right now!
@@courtneymeadows2416 well, like I said fill up the pantyhose with them and use something heavy to squish them, LOL!
Those look a lot bigger than the ones my grandmother grew.
Pulp freezes well!
So jealous. Trying to get them growing in northern utah. Zone 6
What type of persimmons. Are theirs seeded
How on earth did you keep the seeds from grinding through with the pulp? That's the problem I've had with using a food mill. There's got to be an easier way! :)
@Jay Rock
Have you found another way of getting more of the pulp?
Use cheesecloth folded maybe twice
Thanks for the information. Just moved here and wasn’t sure what to do with these persimmon trees we have.
Right now it’s a bunch of rotting fruit on the ground I raked up so we’re not stepping on them. Do you know if it’s a good idea to burn them in a bonfire or if it would make more of a mess?
Are you gonna keep the seeds? If not, I'd be willing to take them. I plant them all through the national forest in Ohio, kentucky and Tennessee.
@@echtigren8188 that’s a cool idea. Most were smashed and rotting in a piles of leaves so we took a couple days to shovel everything into the tractor bucket and dumped it in the back Forrest of our property. Took several trips. Hopefully the animals like some of the better ones. I’m going to trim the trees back a lot this year. Too many.
cant you run the skins through the mill a second/third time like we do with tomatoes??
What use do you have for them. Pies, jam?.
Can you verment the rest into persimone beer ore viniger?
First i want to say feed it to the chicken
Are those American Persimmon? I have 8 American on our land. I am new to them. I tried to make some jelly for the first time, but it was very astringent. I tried to make sure I only used the ones that were very ripe. Do you have any advice for dealing with astringency? Or do you not have that problem with yours? It is also neat to know chickens like them. I plan to get chickens in the future.
You have to wait until they're about to rot. If you gently squeeze it and the pulp oozes out, it's ready. That's why you don't see them in stores - they don't last long enough to store and ship, and they're sweeter if left to ripen on the tree. The non-astringent Japanese varieties can be sliced and eaten while they're still firm, but they only grow in the South, zones 8-10. I occasionally see Japanese persimmons in my local grocery store, but they're expensive.
Maybe you can experiment freezing them whole.
This is what I do with mine. Dealing with a frozen persimmon makes it easier to deseed. I have previously deseeded and deskinned, but will leave skin this year and maybe put in a food processor.
What about using a juicer to squeeze out more juice etc. Then your mom can give you a pie or jam
you should brew somethings with the leftover stuff
Are you trees grafted or just seedlings?
What’s a persimmon?
After you make the pulp can you make jam with it?
Never tried it. But I bet there is a recipe out there somewhere.
Why don't you take and have some pulp to the skins after you take the season and put them in blender and purate with the machines
Where are you located? Would love to find a place to purchase some.
We are located Southren Illinois. I seen a bunch of persimmon pulp for sale on facebook marketplace. It is pretty common for people to sell the pulp around here.
My dogs love to eat them.
Just use cheesecloth
do you know how old are those persimmon trees are?
The big one looks around 20-25 years old and the smaller ones look to be around 10 years old.
Great stuff... those are really expensive at the store, but taste great.
Try the fuyu persimmon
You need a victorio strainer.
i was just watching this, and wondering about my Victorio strainer with the pumpkin screen, does it work??
That was Wrong of You to Tell Your Dog to Stop Eating The persimmons, Animals Know What is Good for Them👎
Too many seeds can cause intestinal blockage.
Bruh a dog will it a whole cake if you let it
I know a dog who ate a hacky sack and needed emergency surgery to unblock his intestine.
Poor chickens
Why poor chickens? They love persimmons.
