Request #15: Pudding

And no, not instant pudding, but English-style pudding. The timing on this is excellent, since we’re getting into that time of year. It’s hard to know where to start with pudding, since it’s like trying to tackle the subject of “cake” with just one recipe. However I know what my personal favorite pudding is: persimmon. The persimmon happens to be in season right now, and as it happens, is a fascinating topic all by itself. So…shall we?
