     Title: Cherry Dumplings w/Cherry Kirsch Sauce
Categories: Desserts, Dumplings, Fruits, Citrus
     Yield: 6 Servings

MMMMM-------------------------DUMPLINGS------------------------------
     1 c  Flour
     1 ts Baking powder
     1 tb Superfine sugar
   1/4 ts Salt
     2 ts Minced orange peel (zest)
     1 ts Minced lemon peel (zest)
   1/3 c  + 2 tb Milk
     2 ts Melted butter; cooled
    24    Cherries; pitted
          Sugar

MMMMM---------------------------SAUCE--------------------------------
     4 oz Cherries; pitted
   1/2 c  Sugar
       pn Salt
   3/4 c  Water
     1 tb Arrowroot
   2/3 c  Kirsch

 Sauce: Combine the cherries,sugar, salt and water in a
 saucepan; bring to a boil, lower heat and simmer for 5
 minutes. Strain the liquid into a bowl, reserving the whole
 cherries in the strainer. Return the liquid to the pan.

 Dissolve the arrowroot in 2 tbsp of cold water and add to
 the cherry liquid. Stir and cook over low heat for 5 mins,
 until thickened; add the kirsch. Return the whole cherries
 to the pan. Just before serving, reheat the sauce for 2-3
 minutes.

 Dumplings: Sift the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt; add
 the peels and stir. Trickle the milk and butter over the dry
 ingredients and mix until the mix is moistened and blended.

 Do not overmix. Divide the dough into 24 even pieces; roll
 each piece of dough out on a floured board into a 3" circle.

 Place one cherry in the center of each circle. Wet the
 outside edges and fold the dough to enclose the cherry; roll
 each into a ball. If the dough does not seem to be sticking,
 lightly dampen hands with water and presss the dough
 together. Place dumplings on a plate; cover with wax paper
 and chill.

 Steam dumplings for 10 minutes (a bamboo steamer works
 best). Pour the cherry sauce into the bottom of a large
 ovenproof serving dish and keep warm in a low oven. When the
 first batch of dumplings is done, place them in the sauce
 and repeat the procedure with the remaining dumplings.

 Serve hot with a sprinkle of sugar atop each dumpling.
