 Categories: Georgia, Fruit, Dessert
      Yield: 6 Servings
 
      4 pt Fresh blackberries or
           -blueberries
    3/4 c  Sugar
    1/2 c  Water
      4 tb Butter; cut into pieces
      2 tb Corn starch; dissolved in:
    1/4 c  Water

MMMMM-------------------------DUMPLINGS------------------------------
      2 c  Self rising flour
      2 tb Sugar
    1/2 c  Vegetable shortening
    2/3 c  Milk
 
  In a deep 12" skillet, toss the berries, sugar, water, and butter.
  Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring often. Reduce the heat
  to low and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in the dissolved corn starch
  and cook until the juices thicken, about 1 minute.
  
  Meanwhile, make the dumplings. In a medium bowl, mix the flour and
  sugar. Add the shortening. Using a fork or a pastry blender, cut the
  shortening into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  Using a fork, stir in the milk. Using 1 scant tb dough for each
  dumpling, roll into 24 balls and place on a baking sheet.
  
  Drop the dumplings into the simmering berries. Cover tightly and cook
  until the dumplings are cooked through, about 20 minutes. Serve hot,
  spooned into individual bowls.
