Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
--For The Berries--
6 Cups Fresh Or Frozen Blackberries
3/4 Cup Sugar -- or to taste
1/3 Cup Red Wine Or Water
1 Tablespoon Grated Lemon Zest
1 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
--For The Dumpling Dough--
1 Cup All-Purpose Flour
2 tbsp Sugar
1 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1/8 tsp Salt
2 tbsp Unsalted Butter -- melted
1/2 c Buttermilk* -- or more as needed


Place the berry mixture in a deep 8 or 9-inch skillet and bring to a simmer
over moderate heat.

While berries are cooking make the dumpling dough:

In a mixing bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda
and salt. Stir in the melted butter. Add enough of the buttermilk to form a
soft, sticky dough that is slightly wetter than a biscuit dough.

Cover the skillet with the berries in it and bring to a boil. Lower the heat
to a steady simmer, uncover, and spoon the dough over the fruit, forming
small dumplings with a soup spoon. Sprinkle the dumplings lightly with the
cinnamon sugar. Tightly cover the skillet with the lid or a sheet of foil
and steam the mixture over medium-low heat, without opening the lid, until
the dumplings set and the surface is dry when touched with a fingertip,
usually about 15 minutes.

To serve: Spoon the warm grunt into serving bowls with top with whipped
cream, ice cream or thickened and sweetened yogurt.

Yield: 4-6 servings
