How to Make Persimmon Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, mash 2 ripe persimmons until smooth. Stir in ½ teaspoon baking soda. Add the persimmon mixture to the creamed butter and sugar mixture, mixing until just combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon ground cloves, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Stir in 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts, ½ cup raisins, and the zest of 1 lemon.
  8. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  9. Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let cool completely in the pan before frosting with your favorite icing.
