| For the Blackberries:
1 gallon blackberries cleaned,
washed
and well drained
2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
Water to just cover the blackberries
|
For the Dumplings:
1 box yellow cake mix
1/2 tsp baking powder
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 beaten eggs
2 cups water
|
Directions:
Put berries, sugar, and water in a large pot. Bring to a
boil and cook on medium heat for approximately 20-30 minutes
stirring frequently. Mash the berries to get the juices
flowing.
While the berries are cooking, mix the cake mix, the eggs,
the baking powder and the water. Add
flour gradually and mix until the dough is a little stiff. Knead by
hand.
Drop the dough by teaspoonfuls into the berries that are
cooking on simmer. Make sure that the dumplings are far enough
apart to allow them to rise. Cover and simmer 5 minutes.
Turn the dumplings over on the other side, cover and cook 5
more minutes.
