Blackberry Dumplings






Blackberry Dumplings

1 qt Fresh or frozen (loose-pack) blackberries
1 c Plus 1 tablespoon sugar, divided
3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
1/2 ts Lemon extract
1 1/2 c All-purpose flour
2 ts Baking powder
1/4 ts Ground nutmeg
2/3 c Milk Cream or whipped cream, optional


In a Dutch oven, combine the blackberries, 1 cup sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt and lemon

Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, nutmeg and remaining sugar and salt.
Add milk; stir just until mixed. (Dough will be very thick.)

minutes or until a toothpick inserted in a dumpling comes out clean.
