PERSIMMON PUDDING W/ BRANDY WHIPPED CREAM SAUCE (NANCY REAGAN'S
This recipe was originally published in a Los Angeles Times Holiday book waaaay back in the day, and has become a standby recipe at either Thanksgiving or Christmas. It is a spicy bread pudding with the unique flavor of persimmons, which are plentiful in November and December. Be sure that the hachiya persimmons are ripe to the point of being squishy-mooshi; fuyu persimons should be soft and mashed. I'm submitting the recipe as it was published, but be advised that persimmons can be very sweet and it is OK to cut back on the sugar in this recipe. I also have started using black walnuts in this recipe. It always gets rave reviews, so please enjoy!

PERSIMMON PUDDING WITH HARD SAUCE
An old-fashioned steamed pudding may not be your traditional Thanksgiving Day dessert, but it is a tradition on our Thanksgiving table. You will need a pudding mold and persimmons, a beautiful orange fruit that looks like an apple. The persimmons will need to be quite soft, almost overripe to the touch. Persimmons taste like a cross between a peach and an apricot, but they are a little tart. The pudding should be served slightly warm, which makes the hard sauce - one of the best tastes - melt.

Steps:
- To make the pudding, in a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar with an electric mixer at medium speed. Add the flour, 1/2 cup at a time, alternating with the persimmon pulp, brandy, eggs, and baking soda mixture. Stir in the vanilla, spices, walnuts, and raisins and mix on low until the butter comes together, about 5 minutes.
- Butter the top and bottom of a 2-quart pudding mold with a lid. Spoon in the mixture. Put the buttered lid on tightly and lock into place. Put the mold in a bigger pot filled with water to come halfway up the side of the mold; cover the pot. It is necessary to have a well-buttered mold and enough water for ample steam for this pudding to come out right. Bring the water to a simmer and let simmer over medium-low heat for about 2 hours. Make sure the water doesn't evaporate; add more hot water if it does. The pudding should be checked with a cake tester. When the tester comes out clean, the pudding is done. Take the mold out of the water and unmold when cool, 1 to 2 hours.
- While the pudding is steaming, prepare the hard sauce. Cream the butter and sugar together with an electric mixer. Beat in the brandy. Chille at least 1 hour. Serve with the warm pudding.
CHICKEN IN A METAXA CREAM SAUCE
Metaxa is a Greek brandy, good chance you won't have it in your drinks cabinet and it's no problem to use another brandy. I have been using Spanish brandy the last few times I made this, but the Metaxa does have a different flavor. If I make this for the two of us I do cut down on the chicken but make the same amount of sauce and serve it with pasta. It is a rich sauce with a distinct flavor. If you should use tarragon as an herb, taste the herb first it can be very strong sometimes and you should use less.
