This is my mom's recipe, and I'm happy to share it. The dumplings are out of this world, and they complement the tart cherries.

Ingredients

1 can (14-1/2 ounces) pitted tart cherries, undrained

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, lemon peel, salt and remaining sugar. Stir in milk and butter just until moistened.
