Good soup. Will make again. Really easy with only 4 ingredients. I had no tomato sauce on hand so I used 1 jar (maybe 16oz) of my home-canned marinara sauce. One caution: in my experience, no matter what the cooking method, Dutch oven or Crockpot, you need to soak those beans overnight - unless they are the no-soaking kind. I wholeheartedly recommend this recipe.

This is a nice bread, nice and moist, nice texture, but the star ingredient could be anything because you sure can't taste the persimmon. I used finely chopped pecans instead of walnuts. I quadrupled the recipe to give away as Christmas presents, and in so doing reduced the egg count by two. I find that beating the batter in my KitchenAid stand mixer really well, makes for a such a creamy batter that I can reduce the egg count slightly with no reduction in quality.

What a good recipe - and so easy - for any time of year! Made the dough last night; shaped and baked it this morning. I used cherry pie filling instead of the mixture posted - delicious. Will try apple filling next time. As I had only 2/3c. sour cream, I made up the 1c. with some cottage cheese which I beat until smooth. I can't see that it made any difference at all. We had one of the 3 pieces for brunch; froze the other 2. I think I'll halve the recipe next time - unless it freezes really well, or I have lots of company, I don't see the point in making up 3 pieces at one time. The beauty of a Danish is when it's fresh. And I didn't bother with any walnuts.
