CHERRY-CORNMEAL SLUMP (OR GRUNT)



Cherry-Cornmeal Slump (or Grunt) image

Juicy cherries are right at home in this little-known riff on cobbler that's cooked on the stove instead of in the oven.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Time 45m

Yield 8 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds cherries, stemmed and pitted
½ cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
½ cup flour
¼ cup cornmeal
½ teaspoon baking powder
salt
8 tablespoons (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into bits
1 egg
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Ice cream, whipped cream or Greek yogurt for serving.

Steps:

  • Put the cherries, 1/3 cup sugar, lemon juice and 2 tablespoons water in a large skillet over medium heat; you can also put the skillet on the grill or over a campfire. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the juices have released, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, a pinch salt and remaining sugar in a bowl, or pulse once or twice in a food processor. Add the butter, and process for 10 seconds or until mixture is well blended. Add the egg and vanilla; mix until combined.
  • When the cherry mixture is thickened slightly, dollop the batter over the top, and cover the skillet tightly with a lid or aluminum foil. Cook, undisturbed, until the dumplings are cooked through, and their tops are dry (not sticky), 20 to 25 minutes. Serve with ice cream, whipped cream or yogurt.

CORNMEAL-CHERRY COOKIES



Cornmeal-Cherry Cookies image

From Martha Stewart Living. Made by a co-worker for a cookie exchange. The parchment-wrapped dough can be placed in a resealable plastic bag and frozen for 3 months. The dough can be sliced while partially frozen, then baked for the same amount of time. This recipe is easily doubled or tripled. Be sure to rotate the log a quarter turn after making each slice. This will help it maintain its shape.

Tips:

  • To ensure the cookies have a perfect texture, make sure to use fresh cornmeal. Fresh cornmeal will give the cookies a light and fluffy texture, while old cornmeal can make them dry and crumbly.
  • For the best results, chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • If you don't have fresh cherries, you can use frozen or canned cherries. Just be sure to thaw frozen cherries before using them, and drain canned cherries well before adding them to the cookie dough.
  • To make the cookies even more special, try adding a glaze or frosting after they have cooled. A simple powdered sugar glaze or cream cheese frosting would be delicious!

Conclusion:

Cornmeal cherry cookies are a delicious and unique treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you are looking for a new cookie recipe to try, give these cornmeal cherry cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
