For best results, use very ripe Hachiya persimmons. The pulp should be almost jelly-like. To prepare the pulp, simply scoop the flesh out of the skin and mash it with a fork. If you don't have Hachiya persimmons, you can substitute with other varieties, but the texture and sweetness may vary. Feel free to add 1/2 to 1 cup of chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or almonds) to the batter for added texture and flavor. Store the cooled bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. For a richer flavor, try using melted butter instead of vegetable oil. A glaze made with powdered sugar and a splash of milk or lemon juice adds a lovely finishing touch.
