Combine ingredients, stirring occasionally, but not constant.
Use a heavy baking pan to prevent burning.
Bake about 1 1/2 hours at 325 oven.
Notes
"Egg and cinnamon if desired. I don't like the cinnamon...like the persimmon flavor all its own. Egg doesn't hurt. Maybe stirred occasionally or plain as desired. I don't stir. Gets darker as it bakes." "Be careful about mixing soda and sour or buttermilk...don't want lumps."
