multipurposegoddessI got Cold Kiss delivered to my iPad last night (hooray e-books!), so I have mostly been reading today, but this recipe comes together quickly, so I was able to wedge it in.
You're suppose to use wild grapes, or muscadine, or concord, and I did not. I used red flame because that's what Farm Fresh To You brought me. I also made a half recipe because 8 cups of grapes is just a lot (and 4-5 servings of dessert is also a lot, though I think the leftovers will be delicious). So possibly my version is not quite representative, but still very tasty. It's like a cobbler (the recipe says it is like a grunt, but that doesn't mean anything to me) - fruit stew with biscuit-like dough on top. I found the sauce a little thin, I suspect that I could get away with not juicing half the grapes. And I'm pleased with myself for figuring out (or, more likely, remembering someone's tip) that I could use a wire whisk as a pastry cutter. I like that the dumplings are cut into strips rather than dropped from a spoon, they go into the pot quickly and easily and, I suspect, cook more evenly, while still puffing up into deliciousness. Excellent afternoon treat!
