Green wild pawpaws or "Indiana Bananas" as they are sometimes termed. Looks like they'll be big this year!

I knew there were wild black raspberries growing somewhere on the farm. Just took me a few days to find this sweet patch.

Four hours and a lot of stirring later, persimmon pudding, the finished product.

Attempting to make persimmon pudding for the first time today. My dad loves the stuff so it's sort of a Father's Day present. I was driving the back way home this afternoon wishing I had saved persimmons last autumn from the trees on the farm when I passed a house with sign anouncing "Persimmon Pulp For Sale" so I turned my car around in the neighbor's drive and bought three pints. My grandmother and I tracked down my great-grandmother Avis's recipe when I got home. There is a copy of the recipe the photo above.
