Okay, ya take the berries and put them in an oven safe, stove top safe pan....Mom always used an enameled tin bowl...amount of berries depends on size of pan...put sugar on the berries. Make biscuit dough, put pan on low/med heat and bring to a slow boil, cut some of the dough into strips, then into pcs....like dumplins for chicken and dumplins....place in the berries and cook the dumplins. As they are cooking take and roll out remaining dough as a cover for the pan, place on top....top dough with pats of butter and sugar.....put in preheated oven at 350/375° and bake until top is as golden as ya prefer. Remove from oven and let cool to eating temp. Top with cream, ice cream, or just by itself. It can be done without berries, and with just the juice....if the seeds are not preferred. I love the dumplins, so the more the better. Tho, many just prefer a few....:drool....:)

It is one of my absolute Favorites. Peaches are good too....cooked the same way, but have to add a touch of cinnamon.

@CntryBoy777 That sounds really really good. Being that I have never made dumplings I'm not sure how adventurous I am but maybe...I'll let you know. I usually cook some berries with some sugar and then transfer it to a casserole dish, put sweet biscuits (shortbread really) on top and bake it.

Mom's biscuit dough recipe...2cups All purpose flour
3tsp Baking Powder
1/2 cup shortening
3/4 cup milk

Roll the dough to 1/8-1/4", and cut into strips, cut strips to about 1-2" length....out of the remaining dough roll another pc about 1/2" thick....after dumplins have cooked just cover with the other pc of dough....put about 4 pats of butter and top with sugar to taste. It really isn't difficult at all.
The shortbread sounds really good too. Whichever way just be sure to Enjoy....:)

babs i'm so glad that the court date with the crazy neighbors is over. sounds like the judge actually had some sense. and I know that you are so anxious to get every thing done so you can get the dairy going but please don't wear yourself to a frazzle doing it. remember you are the hub that all this turns around and if you're off kilter nothing will work right. take care of yourself. and btw I loved the pic of all your lounging goats. alpines were my first love and I still think they are awesome, just don't tell my lamanchas, ok.

  • rent stump grinder
  • wait for my sons and DIL to come for visit/work party
  • plant the garden that probably didn't get done on Sat.
  • Wash those sheets that probably didn't get washed on Sat.
  • watch son grind stumps so I can tell him where they are.
  • repair drip tubing we most likely tore up with grinder
  • make ice cream and maybe blackberry cobbler

Two trips to the get the grinder...they reserved the grinder for me but didn't bother to save me a trailer so I had to go home and get mine. GRRR

Got the trees cut low enough to grind after buying a new chain for my saw, love it when it has a new chain on it. I need to learn how to properly sharpen one.

Tomatoes and peppers are planted. The rest will come after Tuesday when I will take a trip to the nursery.

Tomorrow we will do the stumps in the orchard, AND repair the drip tubing that we will inevitably tear up. We ran out of gas and of course it was 101° today so we were working this evening and it was getting dark so we will finish tomorrow.

I bought ice cream but I did make cobbler, but no dumplings. I'll have to try that though, it does sound yum.
