Cherry Dumplings

30 min8 servings

This old-fashioned fruit dessert isn’t blowing up TikTok, but it’s a big bowl of retro comfort with classic flavors that trendy sweets can’t match.

Ingredients

1 can (14-1/2 ounces) pitted tart cherries, undrained

1 cup sugar, divided

1/2 cup water

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest

Dash salt

1/3 cup milk

3 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

1 In a large saucepan, combine the cherries with juice, 3/4 cup sugar and water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer.

2 Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, lemon zest, salt and remaining sugar. Stir in milk and butter just until moistened.

3 Drop by tablespoonfuls onto simmering cherry mixture. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in a dumpling comes out clean (do not lift the cover while simmering).
