For the best flavor, use Hachiya persimmons that are very ripe and soft. The pulp should be almost jelly-like. To plump the raisins, soak them in warm water for 15-20 minutes, then drain well before using. Toasting the walnuts enhances their flavor and adds a pleasant crunch. This bread is even better the next day, as the flavors have had time to meld. Store the cooled bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
