Dewberry Season- Dewberry and Dumplings recipe with huge pictures
Posted on 4/27/16 at 4:59 pm
Posted on 4/27/16 at 4:59 pm
Back when I was younger my dad would take me and my brother down to Manchac to pick Dewberries around my birthday. We would then bring them to my grandma who would make Dewberry and Dumplings.
Well I decided yesterday after striking out fishing in Grand Isle to hit some spots and I came out with a few quarts worth of Dewberries.
Unfortunately my grandma is 90 and suffering from slight dementia or Alzheimer's and she was unable to remember her recipe. So this is a lesson for everyone that has older parent or grandparents: If you like something they make, make sure you get it in writing before it is too late.
Without a recipe I went to the internet for some help and found this RECIPE which appeared to match what my grandma would make. Without further ado, here is how my attempt at it turned out. Sorry for the huge pictures
Dewberry Dumplings
Dumpling wet
1 egg well beaten
1/2 cup whole milk
1tsp Vanilla
1/2 cup Sugar
2tbsp Melted butter
Dumpling Dry
1 3/4 cup AP Flour
1.5tsp Baking Powder
Dewberry Sauce
2 Quarts Dewberries
3 cups Sugar
Instructions
1. Combine dry ingredients and whisk together
2. Combine wet ingredients and whisk together
3. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and set aside
4. Put berries into large skillet or stock pot, I used stock pot, add sugar
5. Cook the berries on medium heat and bring it to a soft boil, stirring frequently. This is what mine looked like halfway through.
6. Once sauce makes it to a boil, use a teaspoon to scoop and drop the batter gently into the sauce. (The batter will expand in size)
7. I put all my 1 tsp batter balls into the pot then covered it for 3 minutes, then kinda stirred/flipped the dumplings over and covered it again for 3 minutes.
8. Stick a fork into the largest dumpling and if it comes out clean it is done. Remove from heat.
9. Serve with ice cream and enjoy

Thanks for that. That looks exactly like what my grandma used to make.

What the hell is a dewberry? IWEI

The only things I'd add is a few strips of lemon peel in the berry sauce, and a pinch of cinnamon and a few scrapings of nutmeg in the dumpling batter.

Looks really good.
If you ever have huge pics again just type in width=500 after the jpg/png/gif
Like this...[imj]https://i.imgur.com/ViYV108.jpg width=500[imj]...And your pics will come out this size.

Looks great!
My wife's made two dewberry dump cakes this year, so I'll show her this recipe to change things up.

That would look much tastier if it were a dewberry cobbler.

Nice. Dew berries around here are still red from what I've seen.

I was going to make a similar post but didn't get around to it. I made my first run around the neighborhood and picked a couple weeks ago, then made a second run this week. First run I had twice as many, but all together I picked over 6 lbs. The first day I made a couple cobblers with fresh berries - one for me and one for my dad (both diabetics ). Should have taken a pic of the cobblers - but I've ever made! The rest of the berries are in the freezer - after rinsing, soaking, and drying, I spread them out on a large baking tray and freeze them individually, then bag them for the freezer. Have enough for another 3-4 cobblers.

Dewberry season bump, picked 2 qts yesterday down in Manchac, seems like the next two weeks will be good.

Just made these with a combo of dewberries and blackberries, eating a bowl now. Thanks for the recipe!

Awesome, glad this thread got bumped. We picked some of these off of the boat last week, and I was surprised to see what I thought were blackberries so early. After reading this thread, I now know that we were picking dewberries! The more you know!
