Yep. Got about 5 cups worth of pulp from one small tree this year.

I think my Okie grandmother made persimmon jelly once in a while. I just remember seeing a bunch of persimmons on the kitchen counter, then on my next visit there would be several little jar of pinkish jelly in the cupboard.

It may have been some kind of berry jelly now that I think about it ¯\(ツ)/¯
