Blackberry dumplings are a southern dessert favorite!

Puffy mounds of dumpling dough are dropped and cooked on top of a simmering blackberry sauce and the combination is mouthwateringly delicious.

Blackberry dumplings are the perfect way to use the bounty of fresh blackberries available in the summertime. 

They can be eaten when hot or cold and are delightful when served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped topping.
