cookin'your catch..or "pick" :)

mom gave me a quart of balckberries daddy had picked, so I decided to make some old fashioned blackberries and dumplings…had a pint blueberries so tossed those in too…

fresh berries…quart or so
water…I used cup and a half
2/3 cup sugar

wash berries and place with water and sugar in pot…simmer for 15-20 minutes…make dumplings

flour I use self rising and plain…2 to 1 ratio according to how many dumplings I want to make…can also use biscuit mix but add some plain flour so dough will be a little stiffer…
crisco
water(instead of milk)

roll into dumplings…bring berries to boil…drop dumplings in…cover with lid and turn to medium…gently turn dumplings after about 10 minutes…

isnt the prettiest dessert in the world but it sure is good!!

can use any type berries or fresh peaches for this

Oh my God! What a great idea! I will be using this idea. I guarantee. Thank you a million!

Karma is 360 degrees

tips for blackberries…pick only black ones as they dont ripen after picked like some fruit…also…washing will cause them to spoil quicker…so wash when ready to eat or cook…
they freeze easily …rinse and freeze in ziplock bag or container

Looks awesome! I will have to try that with blueberries. It should work with them, I would think. We have a gazillion blueberries in the freezer. My parents have several bushes and we get about a gallon of them each summer.
