Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease and flour 2 9x5 or 3 8x4
loaf pans. Put the raisins in the brandy and set aside. Combine the
sugars, persimmon pulp and oil. Add eggs, one at a time, beat well
after each addition. Sift together the dry ingrediants into a medium
bowl. Add to the egg mixture and stir in the brandied raisins and
nuts. Pour into greased pans. Bake for 1 hour, a bit longer for the 9
