Blackberry dumplings are a southern dessert favorite!
Puffy mounds of dumpling dough are dropped and cooked on top of a simmering blackberry sauce and the combination is mouthwateringly delicious.
Blackberry dumplings are the perfect way to use the bounty of fresh blackberries available in the summertime.
They can be eaten when hot or cold and are delightful when served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped topping.
Blackberry Dumplings Ingredients
- blackberries
- sugar
- salt
- lemon juice
- flour
- milk
- baking powder
- nutmeg
- cinnamon
How to make blackberry dumplings
Add blackberries, sugar, lemon juice and salt to a skillet over medium-high heat.
Squish the blackberries with a spoon to release their juices and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring regularly to prevent sticking or burning.
Once the fruit sauce reaches a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and let cook for about 5 minutes, continuing to stir.
Mix up the dumpling batter while the sauce simmers.
Drop large spoonfuls of the dumpling batter over the top of the simmering sauce. Cover and let cook for about 15 minutes.
The dumplings will be puffy and soft and the blackberry sauce will have cooked down even more.
Serve each dumpling with a spoonful of blackberry sauce.
Scrumptious beyond belief!
