Blueberry Dumplings

[Dorothy]

After reading Sue's thread on the Carmel Apple Cheesecake, I had to share another Paula Deen recipe I made a few months back - Recipes : Blueberry Dumplings : Food Network
What I did was soak the frozen blueberries ( the fresh ones were out of season and very expensive at the time) in blueberry schnapps over night ( substituting the 2 cups of water) which allowed the berries to thaw and soak in all that tasty goodness .. the alcohol burns away leaving an intense added flavor without having to add a lot of additional sugar .. (Of course, go by your own tastebuds to adjust the sweetness)
My next venture on this recipe is to substitute raspberries for the blueberries ..
Back to the liquor store for more schnapps

Hot steaming fruit and chewy little cakey dumplings served with a blob of cold vanilla ice cream or dollop of fresh whip cream is a fire and ice delight!

In fact when you eliminate the sugar .. and find it's not sweet enough for your palate .. a sprinkle of powdered sugar over the top will do the trick
