Holiday Baking | Persimmon Bread | Vlogmas Day 6

[@susanwilliams408]

I recently received a bag of persimmons from my brother in-law and remembered watching your video. I made the bread for Christmas and it was a huge hit with everyone! It was delicious and there were many compliments. Thanks for sharing!!

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Susan it is a family favorite of ours too. Glad you and your family enjoyed it and Happy New Year! Shelby

[@pamjones6465]

That was such a wonderful memory of your mother's. What a joyous memory. It sounds decadent. I bake thu out the year, but love to bake the special things around the holidays. Brings out those dear to our hearts memories. I lost my parent's year's ago. I cherish all of their memories.Thank you for sharing that special moment of yours.:)

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Pam you should write novels, everything you say comes out so eloquently. Shelby

[@pamjones6465]

TheQueensCabinet Thank you for the kind words. I love to read and write. I start a journal of the memories of parents out fear that as I grew older I wouldn't be able to remember them. It was an irrational fear. I hold them dear to my heart, where they will always live on. :)

[@blanchep216]

What an awesome story on how your Mom got this recipe! You are completely opening my eyes and mind to new ideas when it comes to cooking and baking! I'm really enjoying all the amazing recipes you've shared and although I've never had persimmons I really want to try this recipe!!

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Blanche you just need two persimmons to make a batch, give it a try. It is crazy good!

[@candiev2703]

So glad i found your vlogs! Love the stories you tell and your recipes. Like when we see you and not just your hands!!

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Thanks Candy and welcoe to my channel. We have a great group here!

[@casielemar8482]

I finally made this after having the pureed persimmons in my freezer for a year and I am IN LOVE! So delicious, thank you!

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Casie I am thrilled you made it, it was my mom's recipe and I always think of her when I make it. You made my day!!!!!

[@SandyKH]

I've made this recipe twice and I find the cook time way too short if you are using 2 large loaf pans. (It makes the right amount for that, but you need to bake for at least 65-70 minutes. Because persimmons get sweeter as they get more ripe, you may find the sugar excessive... and I think it makes the breads scorch easily. I put a tin foil hat on the bread for about half the baking time so they look more attractive. It's a very dense bread, almost like a fruit cake. Tasty, but be prepared for a long baking and cooling time. This is not a project to start after 8pm or so... as you'll be going for some hours. Very holiday bread.

[@magdel282]

Thank you so much. This was so easy and delicious. I've made 3 batches of this already. I modified the recipe and added more hachiya persimmon ( I have a tree) to it and only used 2 cups of sugar and it was amazing. I appreciate you sharing this with the world. Much love from New Jersey. ❤👍🏽 Happy belated Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. 😁❤❤❤🙌🏽🙏🏽

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Mag you made my day. I always think of my mom when I make this recipe.

[@clynn9510]

Thank you 😊

[@T3COLY]

Can’t wait to try this ❤ for the holidays. You won a new subscriber ❤

[@organizedbydarci8250]

Enjoyed watching your videos. I am hoping you will have a book out soon with all the wonderful recipes. I like the persimmon bread. LOVE, LOVE watching all the meal planning ones. Have not started to meal planning yet though.

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Darci I would be bonkers if I didn't meal plan, it helps so much. Shelby

[@rebeccapeebles5401]

Shelby! Sharing a JAMES BEARD recipe with us? How wonderful. Thank you so much, I cannot wait to make this. Love to you and your family!

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Rebecca thank you, hope you enjoy. Happy Holidays! Shelby

[@TressasSouthernHomeCooking]

Oh my gosh, I cannot believe James Beard gave her a recipe!! I keep up with some of those chef recipients of that award. Love this story and will have to try this recipe, Shelby! Thank you so much for sharing!-----------------Tressa Daigle

[@TheQueensCabinet]

It is yummy, you just need two persimmons to make a batch.

[@TressasSouthernHomeCooking]

TheQueensCabinet thanks I going to try to make this

[@edwardxlee1990]

This is fantastic, I have a bunch of Hachiya persimmons in our backyard that just goes to waste year after year. Thanks for sharing!

[@a.j.lively5823]

"It'll just rip your face right off"...... HA!!!! That's awesome Looks delicious!

[@TheQueensCabinet]

It will hahahha

[@sandrasmith3451]

I fell out laughing when you said that Shelby!!!😂😂😂

[@VivianAtajar]

You are absolutely right! The best persimmon recipe😊!! Soo goood!!

[@bubsmimi9465]

I made the recipe today and it turned out lovely! So delicious!!

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Julie it is one of our family favorites too. Hugs Shelby

[@shawnatwood4653]

I made this recipe this morning. IT IS THE BEST PERSIMMON BREAD RECIPE. Delicious! (I used Missouri wild persimmons which are sweet) So I used 2 cups of sugar instead of 3. Perfect ♡

[@jmjlori]

Wild ones are soo good and sweet! I can't imagine adding sure. lol. looking for good recipes for "gifting", since the wild persimmons are not pretty to look at. 🙂

[@Cyndimrktorres]

Looks so yummy! My mom used to make persimmon cookies. Happy Vlogmas!

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Thank you Cynthia. Hope to get some video of our trip for you guys. :D

[@Butterflys4241]

Best persimmon bread ever❤️the crust is the best part so chewy but crisp ❤️ I’m in heaven eating a slice of this recipe right now❤️ in 2021

[@0602penny]

Thanks for this wonderful recipe. There was a box of persimmons at work to take if you want and I'd never had any before - started looking for recipes and found yours - it was WONDERFUL! I was thinking that the same recipe might work with apples if persimmons were out of season - am I crazy to think this?

[@TheQueensCabinet]

I haven’t made it with apples, let me know if you do

[@MomActivity]

Hey Shelby, if I want to make this recipe and hand these out at Christmas, do you think I should make them a head and freeze them then bring them out on Christmas or should I make them a couple days before Christmas then hand them out? Thanks 😁

[@TheQueensCabinet]

As long as they are well wrapped in plastic wrap, and then put in freezer bags they freeze very well. Shelby

[@jerradallen6316]

I’m gonna try this recipe with American persimmons. There is 3 huge trees loaded just up the road from me. Most people around here don’t even know what they are or just don’t like them.

[@andymontoya4406]

Love it! It will rip your face right off! My husband was like what in the world are you watching? lol

[@TheQueensCabinet]

hahahha Shelby baking bread hahaha

[@debbiea378]

Your Persimmon Bread recipe is exactly like a very old Pumpkin Bread recipe my Mom got from her boss' grandmother back in the early 70's. The ingredients are the same except for using pumpkin puree instead of persimmon pulp. It's crazy good, but I only make it a few times a year because of all the sugar!

[@TheQueensCabinet]

I may have to try that Debbie, because I have some pumpkin puree in the freezer. This is sooooooo goood! Shelby

[@debbiea378]

The only difference in recipes that I see is that the pumpkin bread recipe uses 3/4 C water. That makes sense since pumpkin puree is a little thicker. I hope it works for you!

[@AussieAngeS]

Oh I’ve heard of the James beard awards, wow how wonderful Shelby. That persimmon bread looks wonderful 😍

[@TheQueensCabinet]

It is to die for Angie

[@debbiemonce6286]

Thank you for sharing what sounds like a treasured recipe!! Can't wait to try it.

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Debbie it is a family favorite for sure. Enjoy!! Shelby

[@wifemomteacherlife7648]

I've never had a persimmon. Do they taste similar to any other fruit? Sweet? Sour? Texture?

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Erica they are bitter, but this bread is to die for!!!!!!

[@LIVEINPEACE2023]

The ones that I have tasted were sweet, but they were a bit soft. I can't describe the taste other than saying it's unlike any fruits I have ever tasted.

[@TheQueensCabinet]

It is hard to describe

[@mindyholiday8391]

Thank you so much. I have 2 persimmon trees.. I make banana bread, got a thought to try persimmon bread.

[@destany9591]

You're such a sweetheart Shelby. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Thank you Destany. Hugs Shelby

[@TheQueensCabinet]

[@jojoply]

Hey Shelby. As a child my best friend and I would walk across from her house on a die Troy road, it was called Buck and Penn Road. They were brothers and farmed the land surrounding. Anywho, there was a persimmon tree on that road. I would eat them off the ground. I a,ways have fond memories of carefree summer days whe. I hear persimmon. They were little. So now I will be on a quest to find persimmons around here. Looks yummy!

[@TheQueensCabinet]

It is delicious JoJo PS I love your Joy and Cheer treasures

[@bethbilous4720]

Hi Shelby I bought persimmons today to make your bread. do I just peel them and put them in the food processor to make the puree for the bread one cup? Never touched one of these in my life.

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Yes that is it.

[@magdel282]

Using this recipe again this year! Yayyyy ❤️

[@andymontoya4406]

What the heck? Who gets invited to a dinner party where James Beard is cooking? One can dream!!

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Crazy huh.

[@visitor3756]

My Mother loves persimmons. Will have to make it for her. If I come across some persimmons.

[@TheQueensCabinet]

They are in season now, so hopefully you grocery store will have them. Shelby

[@Rosie-sn2bh]

I baked your (James Beard) recipe! I added sugar cinnamon and less sugar (2 cp). It was very delicious!! Can't wait to share w/fam tomorrow!!! Thank you for sharing, sending hugs....

[@teaberrywmn]

I just discovered a neighbors 2 persimmon trees laden with fruit. The neighbor is absent and doesn't pick the fruit. I hate to let the fruit all go to waste or just to all the animals around. I'm so excited to harvest some and make bread or pudding. I'll try this recipe and hope my face doesn't get ripped off 🤣🤣🤣

[@michellerae8817]

I am most definitely trying this "Rip your face off" recipe! I think you are so wonderful! 💓⛄🎄

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Hahahaha it is so good..........it will rip you r face off

[@qbnmusica]

Trying this but it would help to see how James beard plates this dish? I’ll look online ! Thanks

[@Mileenia]

Do you think almond flourer would be a substitute for the normal one? And how is this bread eaten? Where I come from you eat bread mostly savory and not so sweet so I'm a bit confused *g*

[@TheQueensCabinet]

I have never used almond flour in this recipe, so I couldn't say. You are right, this bread is more of a desert. Shelby

[@retromolar1]

I love your eyeshadow!

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Awe thanks Cool Mac palette

[@mariasusananolasco6724]

Made it yesterday for Thanksgiving, it came out great. Love it. Thanks for sharing. 😊😘

[@alinajmi4004]

Excellent, I will tray to make it

[@plhartley]

This is really nosey but are the blue binders behind you recipe binders? Persimmons? There ya go making me stretch again. Guess it is time to try them. This really does sound good. Do you just serve sliced, top with whip cream, serve with cream cheese spread, etc.?

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Pam they are my three recipe Binders, Household Management Binder and Menu Planner. Get yourself two persimmons, peel them and throw them into the food processor and then make this recipe. To die for, your husband will thank you!!!! It is that good! Shelby

[@EH-fs2xm]

I’m looking forward to Making these. Thank you for sharing 😊

[@Butterflys4241]

It’s ripping my face off❤️it’s sooo good

[@liliamkachakji4708]

I added baking powder and It came out fluffier

[@bethbilous4720]

well alrighty then, now i can stop staring at persimmons in the grocery, asking what could be done with em. Thanks Shelby, ummmmmm how dow you serve these, sliced of course, with uh ??????

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Beth that is how I serve them, just sliced. Happy Holidays SHelby

[@deb2646]

I couldn't wait to make this. However, for my liking I did reduce the sugar. I only had one problem with this. I Couldn't Stop Eating It! ; ) This was great. Thanks so much for sharing. Off to make another batch. : )

[@TheQueensCabinet]

That is fantastic Deb, our family loves it! Shelby

[@jimmieandrews8585]

Interesting recipe! And, with all due respect to you, your family and James Beard. Who is certainly due respect! I'll stick with my recipe.

[@qbnmusica]

[@taniajudith5700]

I love your videos!! I have a recipe to share if you like Mexican foof! It’s gorditas de carne asada.. it’s steak cut up (grilled) then you make flour little thick tortillas you fry them like you would do a taco then slit it open looking like a pocket you put refríes beans inside then your meat top it off with lettuce powdered cheese guacomole & sour cream!! You can even make it without the meat

[@taniajudith5700]

2 good size ones, and then let them ripen so they start turning a little soft. They won't hurt the mixer. I have a lot of editing to do, we got tons of footage this weekend.

[@naomibeery478]

They are a bitter when they are hard, but as they ripen they become sweet, kind of like a peach. Shelby

[@gccheryl4038]
