JAMIE'S GREAT AUNTS BLUEBERRY DUMPLINGS
It is blueberry picking season and I had good luck this year with my small bush. I managed to keep the birds off and produced myself some to eat. I have found my Great Aunts recipe for making dumplings. I am sure most of you have one like it but here is mine. I remember going over to their house and the two great aunts lived...

Steps:
- 1. Clean the blueberries and put in a mixing bowl. Add one cup of sugar to them and stir gently. Now I taste to see if they are sweet enough or tart. I like mine sweet so sometimes may add more sugar.
- 2. I flour the surface then take the packaged crust out and mead together then keep in a ball. I pinch off some and then roll out into a circle large enough for a spoon full of berries. The dough needs to be thin.
- 3. Pull up like a pouch and pinch the sides together on top.
- 4. Place in a 9x13 baking dish or the size you wish to make. This should yield you 15 dumplings. Add very carefully not to over fill 1/4 cup of water around the dumplings in bottom of the dish. Sprinkle over the top of each the 2Tlbs. of sugar all around the dish. Make sure each dumpling has some sugar on it. Slice a thin slice of butter and place over top each dumpling.
- 5. Have your oven preheat at 325°F and place the pan in the center of oven to allow to slowly cook. It took about 35 minutes for mine to cook. While in the oven check constantly to see they are plenty juicy and try to gently lift some of the juice over the dumplings to keep moist. I only did this once and they came out perfect.
- 6. Place a dumpling in a dish and serve if like with a scoop of ice cream.
- 7. WHILE THE DUMPLINGS ARE COOKING DO NOT ALLOW THE JUCE TO COOK AWAY OR TO LOW. YOU WILL WANT SOME JUICE IN THE DISH TO KEEP THE DUMPLINGS MOIST. YOU MAY NEED TO ADD SOME MORE WATER A LITTLE AT A TIME DURING THE COOKING PROCESS.
BLUEBERRY DUMPLINGS
My college girlfriend's late mother fixed this for me while on spring break in FL many, many years ago. As it turns out this is the same recipe my grandmother used to fix cherry dumplings for me every summer (feel free to substitute cherries for blueberries). It looks horrible but tastes OH SOOOOO GOOD!!!!

BLUEBERRY DUMPLINGS
One of my childhood memories is picking wild blueberries with my siblings when our family went camping in northern Ontario - then my mother would make blueberry dumplings for us! This recipe from Jim Dodge, Food & Beverage Manager at the Getty Center in L.A., is much better - sorry mom! Wild blueberries are best - but cultivated or frozen blueberries or even Saskatoons will work. Top with creme fraiche or whipped cream.

Steps:
- Filling: Adjust oven rack to the lowest level and preheat oven to 350°F.
- Wash the berries in a bowl of cold water, remove any leaves or stems and drain well.
- In a 2 ½ to 3 quart casserole with a tight fitting lid, stir together the sugar and water until the sugar dissolves.
- Add the berries and cover with the lid.
- Bake on the lower rack for about 30 minutes or until the filling gives off a little steam.
- While the filling is baking, begin preparing the batter so that you are able to make the dumplings quickly.
- Dumplings: In a medium size bowl blend together the flour, baking powder and salt.
- Pour the milk into a small saucepan.
- Cut the butter into small pieces and add to the milk.
- Warm over moderate heat until the milk is warm and the butter is almost completely melted.
- Turn off the heat and leave the mixture in the saucepan on the burner so that the milk stays warm and butter stays melted.
- Get ready in your workspace: a fork to mix with and two large oval soupspoons to form the dumplings.
- When the blueberry filling is ready, remove the casserole from the oven, but do not remove the lid.
- With a fork, stir the milk mixture into the flour only until the milk has been absorbed.
- The batter should look lumpy and under mixed.
- Remove the lid from the top of the casserole and keep it close by.
- Drop large spoonfuls of the batter on top of the blueberry mixture forming first a circle and then filling in the center of the circle.
- The dumplings will sink a little.
- Return the lid to the top and place back into the oven.
- Continue cooking for 15 minutes.
- Do not remove the lid until this baking time has elapsed.
- Remove from the oven and place on a rack.
- Remove the lid and let cool for 15 minutes before serving.
- Whip the crème fraîche (or whipping cream) until thickened.
- To serve, spoon into deep bowls and top with a dollop of cream fraîche or whipping cream.

Steps:
- Cream butter with sugar.
- Add eggs, stirring hard.
- Add cottage cheese and flour.
- Stir well and gradually add enough milk to make a soft dough.
- Roll out on floured board (not too thin), and cut in squares. Into each square put a blue plum, apricot or sweet cherries. Pinch corners together and roll into a ball.
- Boil dumplings in a large pot filled with rapidly boiling, salted water for 10-12 minutes.
- Serve with melted butter and a mixture of sugar and cinnamon.
Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe blueberries. This will give your dumplings the best flavor.
- Don't overmix the dumpling dough. Overmixing will make the dumplings tough.
- Be sure to let the dumplings rest for at least 15 minutes before cooking. This will help them to hold their shape.
- Serve the dumplings warm with your favorite sauce. A simple vanilla sauce or a dollop of whipped cream is always a good choice.
Conclusion:
Grandma's blueberry dumplings are a classic comfort food that is easy to make and always a hit. These dumplings are made with a simple dough that is filled with fresh blueberries and then cooked in a sweet sauce. The result is a delicious and satisfying dessert that is perfect for any occasion.
