Number Of Ingredients 12

3 c blackberries
1-1/4 c water
1 tsp grated lemon zest
1 Tbsp lemon juice
3/4 c sugar
DUMPLINGS:
1 c all purpose flour
2 Tbsp sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbsp butter
1/2 c milk

Steps:

  • 1. In a large saucepan with a lid, combine blackberries, water, lemon zest, lemon juice and sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 5 minutes.
