Subject: cherry dumplings
Many years ago, my grandmother used to make cherry dumplings. No one
I have asked about it has ever heard of them. All I know is she used
fresh picked cherries, and after they were washed and pitted, she cooked
them slowly but what she added to them I have no idea. Then she made
these big dumplings, and they were added to the cherry mixture. There
was a delicious cherry sauce and hunks of the cherries cooked together
with the dumplings, then served, still warm. If there were any left
over (very rare) they were even good cold or room temperature.
Do you recall - remember at all -- those wonderful cherry dumplings?

Hello Jan,
This is not something that we had in the South, but it surely sounds yummy!
see below for some recipes that I found.
Phaed
Cherry Soup (With Dumplings)
Ingredients :
1 qt. sour cherries, pitted
2 qt. water
1 tbsp. butter
1 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 tsp. salt
Dumplings:
2 eggs, beaten until light
3 tbsp. milk
1/2 tsp. salt
2 c. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
Preparation :
Using a 6 qt. kettle, boil cherries until tender. Add milk, salt,
flour and baking powder to eggs and mix. Drop by teaspoonful to
boiling soup mixture. Cover. Boil ten minutes. Let stand 10
minutes after heat is turned off.
----------------------------------
Sour Cherry Soup Or Cherry Dumplings
Ingredients :
3 c. pitted sour cherries
4 c. water
1 3/4 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt (optional)
1 egg, beaten
4 tbsp. flour (heaping)
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/4 c. milk
Preparation :
In a suitable kettle, bring water, sugar and cherries to a full
boil. Mix flour, baking powder, salt and milk in a separate bowl,
with a fork or whisk type beater. Add beaten egg; mix well. It
will look like cake batter. Dribble (pour slowly) or use teaspoon
size droppings into boiling cherries and water. Continue cooking
until mixture is all dribbled in. You may taste and add sugar as
desired. This can be served hot or cold. This is an old Pomeranian
German recipe.
----------------------------------
Cherry Dumplings
Ingredients :
2 c. sour cherries
2 tbsp. butter
2 tsp. baking powder
1 egg, beaten lightly
1 tsp. vanilla
3/4 c. sugar
1 c. flour
Pinch of salt
3 tbsp. shortening
1/2 c. milk
Preparation :
Cook cherries and sugar in pan for 3 minutes. Add butter. Mix
remaining ingredients. Beat until smooth. Drop by teaspoons on
cherry mixture and cook for 15 minutes, covered. Berries or other
fruit may be used in place of cherries.
----------------------------------
CHERRY DUMPLINGS
Ingredients :
3 to 4 qts. cherry juice with cherries
Dumpling Dough:
3 eggs
3/4 c. milk
Dash of salt
1/3 stick Oleo, melted
3 to 4 c. flour (or enough to make a stiff dough)
Preparation :
(I cook 2 quarts cherries in water with sugar to make a sweet
broth.) Add: Few drops red food coloring Mix all ingredients for
dumpling dough. Roll a portion of the dough on a floured board
until thin. Cut. Drop into boiling cherry juice. Keep rolling,
cutting and dropping until dumplings take up most of the juice.
Stir frequently to cover dumplings with broth and to prevent
sticking. When all dumplings are dropped, simmer 4 to 5 minutes.
Turn off heat and cover pot to steam 10 minutes. Serve warm or
cold. (Peach and blackberries are also delicious fruits to use.)

Hi Debby,
I think I have found the dish on a restaurant menu, but still no recipe.
See:
Mary's Restaurant:

Italian pasta sauces often use chicken gizzards. See below.

2 bulbs garlic, ground
1 gallon tomato puree
Preparation :
Cook salt meat and onion until golden brown. Add butter, simmer
for a few minutes. Then add meat. Cook meat until a light brown;
then add tomato paste and puree. If too thick, add 1/2 gallon
water. Simmer slowly 10 to 12 hours. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Add 4 sticks of celery and 3 carrots while cooking, then remove
when done. This makes enough sauce for freezing.

In Edinburgh the other day I had a delicious steamed orange pudding.
It was served with a creamy sauce with a lot of Drambuie in it.
I'd be grateful if you have recipes for these.
Thank you.

Hello Ken,
I did find steamed orange pudding recipes, but none with Drambuie. See below.
Phaed
Steamed Orange Pudding
Active time: 20 min Start to finish: 2 1/2 hr
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 tablespoons orange juice
1/2 cup golden raisins
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1/2 cup sweet orange marmalade
1 1/2 cups fresh whole-wheat bread crumbs
Accompaniment: custard sauce or crème fraîche
Special equipment: a 6-cup metal or ceramic pudding mold* or deep bowl
with a lip
Stir together baking soda and orange juice.
Toss raisins with flour.
Beat together butter, sugar, and salt with an electric mixer at medium
speed until pale and fluffy. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after
each addition. Add orange juice, raisins, marmalade, and bread crumbs
and mix at low speed until blended. Spoon batter into lightly buttered
mold.
Cover mold with a sheet of foil and secure it tightly with kitchen string
(if mold has a lid, use that instead). Put mold on a metal rack in a deep
pot. Add enough boiling-hot water to pot to reach halfway up mold, then
cover pot and steam pudding in simmering water, adding more boiling water
as needed, until surface of pudding feels dry and firm, about 2 hours.
Cool on another rack 5 minutes. Loosen edge of pudding with a thin knife
and invert onto a serving plate. Serve warm.
