Let sit 5 minutes then add persimmon pulp.<\/p>\n<p>Chill the mixture until it mounds like runny mashed potatoes that can\u2019t hold their shape.

Fold in the remaining whites along with the nuts. Spoon the mixture into the crust or bowls and refrigerate until firm, at least 4\u00a0hours.<\/p>\n<p>Chill until firm and you will have a delectable dream of a pie, fluffy and light as a wisp of foam.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Persimmon-Nut Chiffon Pie (Kathy variation) This recipe, was offered by Euell Gibbons in his 1962 book, &#8220;Stalking The Wild Asparagus&#8220;.
