Fresh Cherry Dumplings
Recently I was given the opportunity to participate in {and enter!} the OXO Cherry Recipe Contest and was elated. Not only did I get to try a new recipe ~ one from my Grandma's Cookbook
~ but I also had the opportunity to try a new kitchen gadget ~ the OXO Cherry Pitter. I love to bake, try new recipes and try new gadgets ~ especially ones that work and OXO has always come through for me.
I started with some fresh cherries, my recipe and the OXO Cherry Pitter.
I have never used fresh cherries in a recipe before because I had always heard that pitting cherries was not an easy task....and I believed it...until now. The OXO Cherry Pitter worked wonderfully and even after pitting several pounds of cherries {I pitted extra for easy snacks} my hands didn't hurt and were not fatigued at all. The splatter shield worked great and cleanup was a breeze.
Fresh Cherry Dumplings
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh {or frozen} pitted cherries
- ½ cup honey
- ⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon butter
- ¾ cup light cream
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 cups biscuit mix {think Bisquick}
Instructions
- Combine cherries, honey and vanilla extract in a deep saucepan.
- Heat to boiling.
- Add butter.
- Add cream and sugar to biscuit mix; mix well.
- Drop dumplings by spoonfuls onto the bubbling cherry mixture.
- Cover tightly and steam about 20 minutes.
Notes
This is best served warm with ice cream or whipped cream.
A special thank you to OXO for sending me this awesome Cherry Pitter to try along with a Solid Stainless Steel ice cream scoop that is a wonderful upgrade from the ice cream scoop we had been using {can anyone say bent big spooon?!}.
