Ingredients

  • 2 bags (16 ounces each) frozen dark sweet cherries (unthawed)
  • 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • Ice cream, for serving (optional)

Method

  • Combine cherries and 1/3 cup sugar in a large skillet with a tight-fitting lid.
  • Bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Reduce heat to medium-high; simmer rapidly until liquid is syrupy, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine cinnamon and remaining tablespoon sugar.
  • In another bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, and salt; gradually stir in milk, mixing just until a wet dough forms.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low.
  • Spoon tablespoons of dough (you should have about 18) over simmering fruit in skillet; sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar.
  • Cover skillet; simmer very gently until dumplings are set and dry to the touch, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Serve warm, with ice cream, if desired.
  • To make this recipe with frozen berries, replace the cherries with 2 packages (16 ounces each) blueberries, blackberries, or strawberries (or a combination).
