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!

BLACKBERRY DUMPLINGS

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

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.

GRAPE DUMPLINGS



Grape Dumplings image

Grape dumplings are a favorite treat among southeastern Indigenous nations. Originally made with strained muscadine or possum grapes, they've been adapted by modern cooks using other dark grape varieties and bottled Concord grape juice. In a blend of old and new, this take on the popular indigenous recipe pays homage to the historic use of cornmeal while observing popular contemporary practices of adding flour and sweetener. The dumplings incorporate blue cornmeal and whole-wheat flour to intensify the rich evening shades of the dish, and the sauce substitutes agave for granulated sugar. Pair them with vanilla ice cream and a sprig of fresh tarragon for a delightful explosion of perfectly purple goodness.

Categories     dumplings, dessert

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup/75 grams blue cornmeal (or medium-grind yellow)
1/2 cup/70 grams whole-wheat flour, plus more for kneading
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 cup Concord grape juice (see Tip)
1 egg
2 teaspoons melted butter
2 teaspoons agave (optional)
4 cups Concord grape juice (see Tip), plus more if needed
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 cups/10 ounces dark, seedless grapes, plus more for serving
2 teaspoons agave (optional)
Vanilla ice cream and fresh tarragon leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • Prepare dry dumpling ingredients: Sift all dry ingredients into a medium bowl. Use a fork or whisk to blend thoroughly. Dump the contents of the bowl onto a flat, clean workspace. Using your hands, make a round mound at least 1 ½ inches tall, then use fingers to clear a hole in the middle. It should go all the way down to the surface to accommodate all of the wet ingredients.
  • Combine wet dumpling ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together grape juice, egg, melted butter and agave, if using. Pour the mixture into the well of the dry ingredients.
  • Blend dough: Using a fork, gradually fold the dry mixture along the perimeter of the well into the wet mixture in the center, stirring to integrate. Do not overmix. When combined, use your hands to form a ball.
  • Roll out dough: Sprinkle a small amount of flour onto a dry, clean work surface. Use your hand to spread the flour into a 12-by-12-inch square. Roll the ball of dough into the flour, coating all sides. Generously sprinkle additional flour onto the workspace and slowly mash the ball with your hand. Use a floured rolling pin to flatten dough into a large rectangle approximately ¼-inch thick and 8-by-12 inches wide, dusting the pin with flour as needed to prevent sticking.
  • Cut dumplings: Using a dry knife or pizza cutter, cut dough into strips to make 1-inch squares. Using a fork, prick each square in three parallel lines, all the way to the work surface. This will help aerate the dough to absorb the grape juice as it simmers.
  • Make the sauce: Pour 4 cups well-shaken grape juice into a wide, high-sided skillet and turn heat to medium. Dissolve cornstarch in 2 tablespoons of cold water before whisking into grape juice. Add grapes and agave, if desired. Bring to a rolling boil over medium heat.
  • Cook the dumplings: Using a rubber spatula, carefully add dumplings to boiling juice until skillet is full but not crowded. Stir the dumplings to immerse; the dumplings may touch, but not stack. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 10 minutes. Check for overcrowding after 5 minutes, removing extra dumplings if needed. (Discard any remaining uncooked dumplings, or simmer in additional grape juice, if desired.)
  • Thicken sauce: Uncover simmering dumplings and keep temperature at medium-low. Cook for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens but does not bubble. It should be the consistency of a thick syrup. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
  • Spoon mixture over vanilla ice cream and garnish with fresh grapes and tarragon.

Tips:

  • For a sweeter filling, add 1/2 cup of sugar to the blackberries before spooning them into the dumplings.
  • If you don't have a steamer basket, you can place the dumplings in a colander set over a pot of boiling water.
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the steamer basket or colander, or the dumplings will not cook evenly.
  • Serve the dumplings warm with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.

Conclusion:

Grandpa's Blackberry Dumplings are a classic comfort food that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are serving them for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, these dumplings are sure to be a hit.
