Categories: Desserts, Dumplings, Fruits, Citrus
Yield: 6 Servings

MMMMM-------------------------DUMPLINGS------------------------------
1 c Flour
1 ts Baking powder
1 tb Superfine sugar
1/4 ts Salt
2 ts Minced orange peel (zest)
1 ts Minced lemon peel (zest)
1/3 c + 2 tb Milk
2 ts Melted butter; cooled
24 Cherries; pitted
Sugar

MMMMM---------------------------SAUCE--------------------------------
4 oz Cherries; pitted
1/2 c Sugar
pn Salt
3/4 c Water
1 tb Arrowroot
2/3 c Kirsch

Sauce: Combine the cherries,sugar, salt and water in a
saucepan; bring to a boil, lower heat and simmer for 5
minutes. Strain the liquid into a bowl, reserving the whole
cherries in the strainer. Return the liquid to the pan.

Dissolve the arrowroot in 2 tbsp of cold water and add to
the cherry liquid. Stir and cook over low heat for 5 mins,
until thickened; add the kirsch. Return the whole cherries
to the pan. Just before serving, reheat the sauce for 2-3
minutes.

Dumplings: Sift the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt; add
the peels and stir. Trickle the milk and butter over the dry
ingredients and mix until the mix is moistened and blended.

Do not overmix. Divide the dough into 24 even pieces; roll
each piece of dough out on a floured board into a 3" circle.

Place one cherry in the center of each circle. Wet the
outside edges and fold the dough to enclose the cherry; roll
each into a ball. If the dough does not seem to be sticking,
lightly dampen hands with water and presss the dough
together. Place dumplings on a plate; cover with wax paper
and chill.

Steam dumplings for 10 minutes (a bamboo steamer works
best). Pour the cherry sauce into the bottom of a large
ovenproof serving dish and keep warm in a low oven. When the
first batch of dumplings is done, place them in the sauce
and repeat the procedure with the remaining dumplings.

Serve hot with a sprinkle of sugar atop each dumpling.
