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

MAMA'S BLACKBERRY COBBLER
Alabama has some tasty fresh blackberries. Decades ago, my mama was heading out to pick blackberries to make a cobbler, but she ended up going to the hospital to have me instead. This is her mama's recipe. The blackberries start on top, but then end up tucked under a golden brown crust after it's baked. -Lisa Allen, Joppa, Alabama

BLACKBERRY DUMPLINGS
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!

JUANITA'S BLACKBERRY DUMPLINGS
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.

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.
