Brown County persimmon pudding · Indianapolis
A dense, dark-spiced steamed pudding made with the puree of native Indiana persimmons, served warm with a spoonful of softly whipped cream and a fall-only run at Late Harvest Kitchen.
Native Indiana persimmons fruit in October across the wooded southern half of the state, especially the hills of Brown County. The Mitchell Persimmon Festival has run since 1947 and crowns a Persimmon Pudding Queen each fall. The dish moved north into Indianapolis dining rooms in the late 1900s as a seasonal Hoosier specialty.
