This recipe is a bit time-consuming, but it's worth it. The dumplings are so light and fluffy, and the cherries are perfectly sweet and tart.

I was really excited to try this recipe, but I was disappointed. The dumplings were dense and the cherries were bland.

Not bad, but not great. The dumplings were a bit dry and the cherries were a bit too tart for my taste.
