Sift all five dry ingredients into a mixing bowl. Then make a well in the
center and add the melted butter, eggs, Cognac, persimmon puree, and, if
you like, the nuts and raisins. Mix the dough until it is quite smooth.
Butter and flour four molds; use either four 1-pound coffee cans or 3- to

molds about three-fourths full. Bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees. Cool the
loaves in the molds and turn out on a rack.

keep nicely from 1 to 2 weeks.
