Mmmm berries stewed with vanilla and sugar, topped with steamed dumplings. A traditional dessert in the New England area and one of my favorite. I like this combination, but you can use any berries you like, and regular sugar if you don't have vanilla sugar.

Ingredients

4 serv.

pint fresh raspberry↗1
pint fresh blackberries↗1
cup water↗1⁄2
tablespoon triple sec (optional) or 1 tablespoon Cointreau liqueur (optional)↗1
cup vanilla sugar, plus↗1⁄3
tablespoons vanilla sugar↗2
cups all-purpose flour↗1 1⁄4
teaspoons baking powder↗1 1⁄4
teaspoon salt↗1⁄4
cup nonfat milk↗1⁄2
teaspoon vanilla extract↗1
homemade whipped cream (optional)

Step-by-step instructions

1
In a large skillet, combine the berries, water and 1/3 cup vanilla sugar. Set the skillet over medium-high heat and bring it to a simmer.
2
While the berries are cooking, combine flour, baking powder, salt and remaining sugar in a medium bowl. Mix with a fork to combine.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk together milk and vanilla and add to dry ingredients. Mix together with a fork until dry mixture comes together in a soft dough.
4
Drop the dough by heaping spoonfuls onto simmering berries, making 8 dumplings. Cover pan and cook 10 minutes, until dumplings are puffed up and cooked through.
