 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
                       --For The Berries--
  6      Cups          Fresh Or Frozen Blackberries
    3/4  Cup           Sugar -- or to taste
    1/3  Cup           Red Wine Or Water
  1      Tablespoon    Grated Lemon Zest
  1      Teaspoon      Ground Cinnamon
                       --For The Dumpling Dough--
  1      Cup           All-Purpose Flour
  2      tbsp          Sugar
  1      tsp           Baking Powder
    1/2  tsp           Baking Soda
    1/8  tsp           Salt
  2      tbsp          Unsalted Butter -- melted
    1/2  c             Buttermilk* -- or more as needed


Place the berry mixture in a deep 8 or 9-inch skillet and bring to a simmer
over moderate heat.

While berries are cooking make the dumpling dough:

In a mixing bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda
and salt. Stir in the melted butter. Add enough of the buttermilk to form a
soft, sticky dough that is slightly wetter than a biscuit dough.

Cover the skillet with the berries in it and bring to a boil. Lower the heat
to a steady simmer, uncover, and spoon the dough over the fruit, forming
small dumplings with a soup spoon. Sprinkle the dumplings lightly with the
cinnamon sugar. Tightly cover the skillet with the lid or a sheet of foil
and steam the mixture over medium-low heat, without opening the lid, until
the dumplings set and the surface is dry when touched with a fingertip,
usually about 15 minutes.

To serve: Spoon the warm grunt into serving bowls with top with whipped
cream, ice cream or thickened and sweetened yogurt.

Yield: 4-6 servings
