I'll go first Spinner!
I'm not sure if OMC still posts here but here is a recipe he passed on to me. Credits due here.
Going to try it this week! Sounds YUMMY!
Black Berry Dumplings!
1 quart fresh or frozen (loose-pack) blackberries
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, divided
3/4 teaspoon salt, divided1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2/3 cup milk
Cream or whipped cream, optional
In a Dutch oven, combine the blackberries, 1 cup sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt and extract;
bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, combine
flour, baking powder, nutmeg, remaining sugar and salt. Add milk; stir just until mixed
(dough will be very thick). Drop by tablespoonfuls into six mounds onto simmering
blackberry mixture. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into a
dumpling comes out clean (do not lift cover while simmering). Spoon into serving dishes.
Serve with cream or whipped cream if desired but
icecream is the best.
This used to be the stuff we talked about all the time, in what is now called DC.
It's a Good Thing!
