Cherry Dumplings

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 10 min. Cook: 30 min. YIELD: 8 servings.
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
  • 1 cup sugar, divided
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
  • Dash salt
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions

  • 1. In a large saucepan, combine the cherries with juice, 3/4 cup sugar and water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer.
  • 2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, lemon zest, salt and remaining sugar. Stir in milk and butter just until moistened.
  • 3. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto simmering cherry mixture. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in a dumpling comes out clean (do not lift the cover while simmering).
