JUANITA'S BLACKBERRY DUMPLINGS



Juanita's Blackberry Dumplings image

My mother's specialty, she was the oldest of 6 children, her mother died when she was 12 and she cooked for the family from 12 on. Blackberries were plentiful in Southern Missouri in summer and she made the blackberry dumplings for her siblings instead of a cobbler. I have never seen a recipe for the dumplings so I am thinking this is something my mother devised herself perhaps a quart of blackberries went further by making dumplings instead of a cobbler.

Time 1h5m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 quart fresh blackberries
2 cups white sugar, or to taste
2 cups water
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
¼ cup shortening
1 egg yolk
5 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • Place blackberries, sugar, water, butter, and cinnamon in a large saucepan. Cook and stir occasionally over medium heat until have started to break down and form a sauce, about 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the flour and salt in a mixing bowl. Cut in the shortening with a knife or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir the egg yolk into the crumbs. Add the milk a tablespoon at a time, tossing with a fork, until the flour mixture is moistened. Do not add more milk than you need: when you squeeze a handful of the moistened pastry mixture, it should form a ball. Divide the dough in half and shape into balls.
  • Roll one ball into a 1/4-inch thick round, like a pie crust. Using a floured knife cut lengthwise 2 to 3 inch wide strips of dough. Repeat with the second ball of dough.
  • Holding each strip of dough over the boiling blackberries pinch off 4-inch lengths and drop into the berries. Repeat until all the dough has been used. Cook the dumplings over medium heat for 15 minutes. You may push the dumplings down into the juice but do not stir until they are fully cooked or they will clump together.

As long as I can remember, my mother has been making blackberry dumplings. They finish cooking while you eat-and they really do make you hurry through Sunday dinner! It can be an everyday dessert, too, though. Try it with roast chicken, beef or ham. Sometimes I'll make it in winter just to have a taste of summer. -Liecha Collins, Oneonta, New York

BLACKBERRY DUMPLINGS



Blackberry Dumplings image

These simple blackberry dumplings capture the essence of sweet, sweet summertime thanks to a little help from your slow cooker. Frozen berries are gloriously juicy when mixed with sugar and lemon juice. As soon as the mixture starts to bubble and boil, you know it's time to get your dumpling-making pants on. Reach for your trusty box of Bisquick™, add in a few tablespoons of sugar and milk and mix until a sticky-wet dough forms. Drop the sweetened dumpling dough onto the blackberry mixture and let your slow cooker work its magic. The steam your slow cooker creates makes for an ideal dumpling-cooking environment turning out ultra-light and fluffy results. Spoon the syrupy blackberries over your cinnamon-dusted dumplings, dollop with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream and devour. It's that easy!

  • Don't crowd the pot. Cook the dumplings in batches if necessary.
  • Serve the dumplings warm. The dumplings are best served warm, with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.
