Persimmon Pudding

This recipe reminds me of the English style persimmon pudding my mother made at Christmas.

Ingredients

2 very ripe Hachiya persimmons, top removed and chopped (or smooshed)
1 cinnamon stick, smashed
2 whole cloves
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 vanilla bean, split
1/4 cup 2:1 Simple Syrup
1-1/2 cup vodka

Directions

Place all ingredients in a 1.5 liter jar and seal the lid tightly. Store the jar in a cool, dark location for 1 week. During the week roll or shake the jar to mix the ingredients a few times a day. Strain the contents of the jar thru a fine mesh sieve and discard the solids. Enjoy within 6 months.
