BLACKBERRY PEACH DUMPLINGS

BLACKBERRY PEACH DUMPINGS

Basically just a spin off of an old family recipe I posted below the original… for this  I just used my great grandmother Effie Sizemores Blackberry Dumpling recipe only I used one bag of frozen blackberries added two quarts of my home canned peaches .. added a little water and about 3 cups sugar and a 1/2 stick of  butter put on to boil  then did my batter of self rising flour and water with a little oil like granny did.. and some sugar.. mixed it up and dropped into the boiling fruit mixture.. covered tightly and turned the heat down to simmer… let it simmer without peaking for 12 minutes and then served with vanilla ice cream.

NOTE: BELOW is grandma Effies recipe for plain blackberry dumplings (or raspberry)
