Preparation:
In a Dutch oven, combine the blackberries, 1 cup sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt
and
lemon extract. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
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)
Drop by tablespoonfuls into 6 mounds onto hot blackberry mixture; cover
tightly and simmer for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in a
dumpling
comes out clean. Spoon into serving dishes. Serve with cream or whipped
cream
if desired. |
