I'm going to try your recipe. Mine recipe is alittle different. Thank you so much.
Hello, May I ask do you can preserves? My grandmother made the best. If you do would you please do a video?
Tipper, I will be making this soon but if you want be jealous, my 87 year old neighbor has 5 rows of blackberries that are totally like tunnels to pick. You can't go through all 5 without at least a gallon of sweet blackberries every day when they are in season. Lucky me. Love all you do. Thanks
😋
Wow, I bet that’s something to see! Yum!
Wow sounds wonderful 😀
That's a good neighbor
One of my fondest memories is going and picking wild blackberries with my aunt Norma when we got home she got everything ready and made blackberry dumplings. The first and only time I’ve had them I was 14 I’m 67 now soon to be 68 in a week. 😊
Happy almost birthday!
Plump, BEAUTIFUL Blackberries!
Thank you! They did so good this year 😀
Mommy make what she called "thickened blackberries". She would cook her berries and sugar together like you do then make a thin slurry of flour and milk. She would stir that in and continue to stir until it thickened. It was more like a pudding or a glaze. She also made dumplings like you do but I liked the thickened blackberries better. Especially cold! It rarely happened that there would be leftovers though.
Yum that sounds good Papaw 😀
Really good ❤️
My Mom made this us with cherries. That brought back such a pleasant memory.
My Mommy made the best ones growing up in W.V I sure miss her and my Daddy. Black lung finally took him home to heaven. He and my mommy were born again. So am I, so I'll see them in heaven soon. Love your stories. Thank you. Jesus loves you
I love blackberry dumplings and pies! So yummy and heart warming! 🥰
Me too!!
Oh My, fresh field peas?
I love this meal. At my grandmother's house, there was field peas, creamed white corn, maybe green beans too with corn bread. She cooked green beans with pork and often put small peeled potatoes to cook on top. Oh and crisp, fried okra. AND a plate of sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, and fresh green onion.... & sliced cantalope. Side meat was fried salt pork and occasionally, a roast. In Summer, we ate less meat, but pork was in many dishes, as you know.
Yes, very comforting. Thank you! *The blackberry cobbler was my grandmother's favorite desert. I feel like I smelled, and tasted this great mean gain tonight, even though what I experienced is in my memory. It was like a visit to my Mama's kitchen. I could even hear the TV in another room. Maybe Lucy is jn or Andy Griffith. Msybe 6 oclock news. We had 3 ststionscand it all went off at midnight. It is hot, just open windows and a huge window fan with a small kitchen fan on the washing machine.
This meal was not just very wonderful tk eat, but also beautiful to behold.
Thank you so much...
What wonderful memories you have 😀
I love blackberries.
Me too 😀
Tipper, my mama used to make blackberry dumplings lots for us kids. We would spend the morning roaming the hills picking wild ones and then she made dumplings for supper. She basically just used the same recipe as her biscuits. I have made them using canned biscuits which works pretty well-not nearly as good as mama’s. I have had mine turn into a mass sometimes too and I agree need to add more water but I think the last time it happened just a couple weeks ago I think maybe I didn’t have mine boiling enough. I had some biscuits I had made and froze (unbaked-raw) that I used and I think I dropped them in to soon. My husband and daughter still loved them though. I’m 73 now and this video took me back to those days when life was sweet and simple. Thank you.
I bet hers were just delicious 😀 edited to add-and I'm sure yours were too 😀
We had a bunch of blackberries come up along our fence line last year, then this year the kids picked enough to keep us in cobbler (or mountain pudding as my grandma called it) for a whole month.
That is great 😀
Granny 👵 made the dumplings and in the best chicken stewed like a creamy pot pie filling but nothing but dumplings & black pepper on top. We are So going to have to make these simple but memorable food again and it will be a good thing.
My grandmother had blackberries that grew in her back yard. We would go out and pick them as kids so she could make cobbler or pie. But mostly we would put them in a bowl of milk and eat them like that. They were so good. I've never made a blackberry dumpling. I can't wait to try.
My mom always told me when making drop dumplings to be sure to make space by pushing any dumplings already in the pot out of the way for the one you're dropping. And to always let the one you drop cook for a few seconds before you drop that next. That way they don't all bind together. Also, add about a tablespoon of vanilla in your dumping mix! Makes them very delicious.
Probably my favorite food on the planet Earth!!!
😀
Oh how yummy that looks! I will try this. My fav memory is my, “Pap,” Great Grandfather, made us blackberry cobbler/ dumplings made with canned biscuits. It was heavenly! Also, born in Southeastern Okla. , & raised, I never heard of anyone being called , pap! I’ve lived in Texas now for 35 years and have never heard of another, “Pap!” When I heard you call your father, “Pap,” I was hooked! Love your channel & your family! Being around your family helps me get through, estrangement . Thank you, I adore your girls! I literally cried with Peace & joy over how your last ASMR video, made me feel. Comforted. Thank you for shining the Light & love and Christ in your channel! Supernatural blessings! 💕🌸🙏🏻
So glad you enjoy our videos!! Thank you!
Jiffy buttermilk biscuit mix makes easy dumplings. Just add water and drop in spoons full.
My grandmother made a blackberry roll, she made a dough using flour,water,oil/crisco. She rolled that out on a oblong floured cheesecloth then she would but a line of blackberries roll the dough over, another line on berries, repeat. Then she tied this up in the cheesecloth. She dropped it in boiling water and cooked till the dough was done. She then unrolled the dough in a big bowl and added butter and sugar and salt and using knives cut it all up. This created dumplings. Oh my was it good. Thanks for bringing up that memory. Always enjoy my time with you. As a side note I have never spoiled my supper……
Sounds wonderful 😀
When I was growing up in my part of Appalachia we called that, Blackberry cobbler. When I was newly married in the early 70s, I noticed every recipe for "cobbler" was baked. I was so confused. In the 80s a new family that had started coming to church brought a pot of "strawberry dumplings" to homecoming. Don't know why I never made the connection to chicken & DUMPLINGS. 🙄 LOL! Last year in the comments on a blackberry cobbler recipe a sweet lady asked if anyone had heard of a stovetop cobbler? Her grandma in Alabama had made cobbler in a pot on the top of the stove when she was a little girl. I commented to her, "Did it looked like chicken & dumplings but with blackberries?" We had a lovely back and forth conversation. She wrote, "Well no wonder I couldn't find any information!" 😁
😀
My favorite flavor ...remember mom getting us up at the Crack of dawn to pick blackberries..chiggers abound
those are the best
Tipper, This looks scrumptious! I've tried your easy chocolate cake, corn bread, cabbage patch stew. Now I have a new one to add....BlackBerry dumplings! Several of my family members are from up around Hall/Lumpkin counties. I love what you are doing! Keep the old ways alive! Thank you!
Thank you 😀
I bet those are good Ms. Tipper especially with vanilla ice cream.
I love dumplings. My mom made pinto bean dumplings, stewed potato dumplings, tomato dumplings, chicken dumplings, and of course blackberry dumplings. I grew up thinking she was just a really good cook but actually she was making the dish go further.
My mama would make corn meal dumplings in a pot of greens to make the meal go further. She didn’t have enough to make cornbread for all of us sometimes.
Those dumplings could spoil my dinner any time. Delicious
Yum! I was the fastest Black Berry and Dew Berry Picker when I was a Kid. Fought the wasp, snakes, tics and red bugs and gave all of the Berries to Grandma, MaMa and my Aunt's. I did eat my share tho!😋😂 Thanks for the New Recipe 🙋♂️
This is a summer dessert of my childhood. My mamaw always made it! It's comfort in a bowl! I can just taste it now...
My Mama would do it as you say, then after she put dumplins in the jucy berry mix on light boil. She laid thin dimplins on top and crisscrossed, then added sugar on top. After a few minutes, she finished off by browning in oven. Yummm
I absolutely love blackberry dumplings. 😋
Law Me, I haven't had this since my grandmother passed. I might cry just thinking about it.
Many years back, when I was but a little shaver, my aunt Nanny was given some old-time blackberries. She made a flummery from them. It is basically a pudding made from the stained, cooked blackberries, sweetened with sugar and thickened with corn starch. It was delicious. I have always been partial to blackberries. An old time general store here in Carroll County, Md., now out of business, made their own ice creams in the hot months. Vanilla and chocolate all the time and various fruit flavors as they came into season. Their blackberry ice cream was as fine as anything I have ever eaten.
We make huckleberry dumplings delicious 😋 that looks delicious to
Oh my word!!!! My great-grandma (from Kentucky) used to make these before she passed a couple years ago! They were so GOOD! Especially with vanilla ice cream, mmm... Makin' me hungry Tipper! Love it!
😀
Like I said before, them dumplins look good!!👍😉
Thanks for taking the time to show us this recipe. Makes my mouth water. Going to have to make some kind of fruit and dumplings soon.
Thank you Tipper!
You are so welcome!
My favorite is blackberries and your video takes me back to my childhood memories when mom made blackberry dumplings, we always had blackberries then, I really miss them. Thank you for your video.
Thank you for this recipe. That looked so delicious. ❤️
That is one of my favorite desserts. My mom used to fix blackberry dumplings every summer when I was growing up. When my boys were young we would ride four wheelers in the mountains and pick wild blackberries for mom to make dumplings. There doesn't seem to be as many wild berries as there were years ago....or maybe others are beating me to them now, lol. Any time I eat at Cracker Barrel I always order the blackberry dumplings with vanilla bean ice cream for dessert. Thank you for the recipe Tipper! Mom did not write many of her recipes out.
Sheree w, I think one of the reasons why we don't see them like we used to is because some counties like where I live goes around spraying pesticides. Where I live used to be considered being out in the country, but not anymore. It keeps growing and growing. We don't even have dirt roads around where I live anymore. My husband's friend who used to be the commissioner for our county had all of our dirt roads paved. I thought well... that's just doesn't seem right. That's how we used to find blackberries, plums, apples, and muscadines. My mama would keep salt in the car with her when I was a little girl just in case she found some green plums. She loved salt on them. It also could be the railroads spraying in our county too. Things sure have changed. 😉😊
@@bonniebrown6960 That's very true. After reading your comment I was thinking about the dirt roads in our area and you are right; I can't think of a single place where there is a dirt road now. I also remember finding apples and plums and even some peach trees. probably from places of long ago homesteads. It's baffling to think about how quickly time has gone by, it seems like it was just a few years ago.
Yall Work SO HARD!!!! Thank Yall for sharing!!!!
Love your dessert - one of my favorite. I did this with canned peaches once and it still turned out. Wasn't like fresh peaches but it was a dark, cold winter night and we enjoyed it just the same. Thanks for a real down home finale to a good supper.
I remember being little and picking blackberries- they were small wild black berries, and the little thorns sticking my hand. I also remember my grandma making blackberry cobbler 😋
Yummy yummy! Blackberry is my fave! Looks delish! Have a blessed week, Ms Tipper!🌸🌼🌻
Thank you! You too!
Oh boy, you just made my husband a very happy man. I’m making some stewed blackberries right now. Tomorrow evening, the blackberry dumplings. He’s in Heaven..lol I use self rising in most of my dumpling and cobbler recipes, too! It’s always given me that soft, dense texture that I love with fruit recipes. Love, love, love your channel!
Thank you 😀
I remember picking those wild blackberries, getting scratched, bleeding, afraid I was going to meet up with a snake 🐍 😅, but my mom would make the best clobber, she would can some,make jam and jelly, I enjoyed those days growing up, unfortunately all of those days weren't that pleasant. Thanks for posting 📫 ☺️.
Tipper is a cobbler, Thank you.🙏
Wow! Looks wonderful! Haven't had this since I was a kid, really and that's been a WHILE! HEHEHE ANYWAY, THANKS FOR sharing! 👌🤳🎁🎀👍👍😘😁
Good lord have mercy, I'll be there in a minute...🤤😋😀
My family here in the PNW has always done blackberry cobblers, I look forward to trying this out! You've made it seem so simple and easy!
My mouth was watering through the whole process. Blackberry anything is my favorite. I made a cobbler and still have a little leftover. I just believe I’ll go finish that off😁 As always I enjoyed this video.
I love blackberry cobbler especially with some Blue Bell vanilla ice cream😃.
Oh the memories!! I love blackberry dumplings.
I've never had this but I know I ate a lot of my Mom's blackberry cobbler.
I learned to make this many years ago using different varieties of fruit. But when I was taught by my grandmother, she called it grunt. All the same recipe, just named differently. So very good, I haven't made it in years. Love blackberries and might have to try making this again soon. Thank you for your videos.
Back when I was a boy and daddy and mother and me would go camping at Santeelah lake, we'd pick blackberries if they were in season. Mother would make blackberry dumplings in a pot since we didn't have an oven camping. I later made them myself, but I used the same dumpling recipe that I use for chicken and dumplings. My doe is a lot stiffer than yours, and makes light fluffy dumplings, same as in my chicken and dumplings.
Oh, man alive that looks so good! 😋 My first thought when I saw you take some to sample before supper was how ice cream would be so good with it. Glad you had some! 😊
Well here's one I will definitely be trying this season. Thanks so much for sharing.
I just found and subscribed to your channel today. This brought back a wonderful memory. I am 73 and remember my Granny Davis making this on her old green and cream wood stove. I stood on a chair beside the stove and helped to stir. I’ve never seen it done since. Thank you!! ❤️
Welcome and thank you 😀 What great memories you have!
The peas that you and Corie shelled look like the same ones that my mother had in her garden (she only had a garden for several years when I was a young girl) I remember she called them purple Hull peas and they were so good! My mother passed away about 15 years ago and I miss her so much. There are things that she would cook and I would try to do it just like her, but somehow, it never seemed to taste as good as hers. She also cooked okra similar to the way you do, not much breading and it was the best. Love your channel... always looking forward to your next post. The content of your channel reminds me of my childhood and brings back a lot of good memories. Thank you for sharing and wishing you and your family many blessings. 🙂❤️🙏
Thank you Beverly 😀
Those blackberries look so good!
I love anything made from blackberries!! It’s my favorite cobbler. I don’t see wild ones growing out here. Bummer.
My grandmother used to do the same thing with her pulp. She propagated a bunch of Saskatoon berry bushes that way. She was an amazing gardener!
That is wonderful 😀
This brings back memories from my childhood. My granny used to rent out her land to a farmer who planted corn on it. After the corn was harvested, granny would take us kids to the field to pick the corn on the ground for her ducks and chickens. To bribe us, she would give us a bucket to pick ripe Blackberries in the cornfield at the same time and promise us a big pot of blackberry dumplings when we got home. We had to watch our for snakes. What a wonderful treat after working so hard. I have never known anyone that made these dumplings but my granny. She has passed away many years ago and I haven't had blackberry dumplings since. Thank you for the recipe. I am going to enjoy making a batch and reminiscing
Love those memories 😀
I always click a “like “ before I’ve even watched as I know I will love it 🥰😂
Oh thank you 😊
You have really great content, thank you Tipper.
You are so kind-thank you Robin 😀
That ….. looks ….. really tasty!
I am sharing your videos with coworkers!! Your videos are fantastic.
Wow, thank you!
Thank you! This is a memory of my Grandma Vaughan. She would get a jar of blackberries from the cellar and make dumplings. Nothing better. I’ve tried to explain these to my non-Appalachian friends and they just don’t get it.
I used to do this when I was a kid and grandma made them and blueberry dumplings with vanilla ice cream 🍨
Looked delicious. Thank you for sharing. I have had something similar with Blueberries and the dumplings are quite a bit thicker and we call it Blue Berry Grunt. So you made me hungry again. Thanks.
Yum! I want to try this.
The FATHER blessed us richly with blackberries this year so I have been picking and canning a lot of them. My little helps me pick them everyday. I picked one not yet completely black and in his sweet little two year old voice he said "nan not yet, not yet". Such a blessing this life is. Thank you!
I have the best memory of my memaw coming to visit and taking us blackberry picking and then she made blackberry with dumplings...yummy. thanks for sharing and bringing back the sweet memory!! *memaw was from Morehead Kentucky
Thanks for sharing!
Those look delicious.
I hate to call you out Corie, but momma was smoking you on shelling peas! 🤣
😀
Experience is the best teacher, Skoop!
In time, arthritic hands may be the great equalizer. Don't ask me how I know!
Grandma Miller used to send us out with the old Chase and Sanborn coffee cans to pick along with Grandpa. She made cobbler and dumplings. We kids used to sit with Grandpa under the tree to turn the crank on the ice cream maker. Better times were never had.
That looks so good Tipper. You and your family is so blessed to have all that you have. Am having to move here in three months.
Thank you Charles 😀
@@CelebratingAppalachia you’re welcome
Oh ty Tipper I've been waiting on this 🥰💐
love those, grandma also made grape dumplings from Fox Grapes
Used to make this but take it a little farther. Made them in oven proof pot and would have biscuit dough rolled out and cut in strips. After cooking dumplings I would add a little cornstarch to make slightly thick. Then working a little fast would lay strips of dough on top,brush with butter and sprinkle with sugar. Next bake till brown.
I ❤️ these videos and your entire family. Trying to learn thank you!!’
You are so welcome!
That looks amazing!
Blackberry dumplings or cobbler is an honorific dessert. You've got to think pretty highly of somebody to make it for them.
One thing Tipper didn't show is the necessity of not stirring the dumplings. Just kindly joggle the pot around a little bit while they're cooking.
Never heard of or ever had, but look delightful
Oh Boy! I'll have another picking of blackberries this week, and I'm making this. Looks wonderful Tipper. Thank you.
Hi Tipper...looks so good . 😊😊
Have you ever tried using plain flour all-purpose flour with a little sugar and about a half a teaspoon of vanilla or even lemon juice or lemon flavoring and using some of the juice(cooled) out of your cooked berries for your liquid in your dumplings? It is so good....flavorings optional. Always enjoy EVERY video !!❤❤
I haven't-sounds great 😀
The cobbler I remember was more like a pie with a lattice crust top. Blackberries here get ripe around July 4.
Wow well done looks fantastic yummy can't wait to try this recipe thank you for sharing
I’ve eaten blackberry cobbler my entire life, but I’ve never heard of blackberry dumplings until now. I’m making me some of those! I know I’ll love them, because my favorite part of a cobbler is the doughy part on the bottom! I love your channel!
Thank you
Love this! BlackBerry dumplings are so good! Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream, uuumm, uuumm ! Definitely a comfort food ! Reminds me of home and mama and being a kid....thanks tipper ! God bless....🙏❤
My wife and daughter have been picking raspberries, wonder if they have blackberries too? 🤔. THAT LOOKED WONDERFUL!!!
Dear lady, I've eat a boat load of these in my life 🥰
😀
That looks Amazing, thank you for sharing!!
Yummy 😋…I’ve never tried making this but I love anything blackberry 🤗🤗
This looks so delicious!! I want to get my daughter some blackberry starts. I may try the seed tossing technique too. Thank you!!
Hi Mom !! Lol . I say this cause i love watching Your cookn . Goodstuff indeed . ✌🌐
😀
Thank you for sharing.
Your dumplings are different to ours. We use flour but we add shredded suet which makes them puff up like snowballs. We use them with savoury dishes so you could add any dried herbs or spices if you wanted to. I will have a go at yours as there are quite a few blackberries on the brambles that grow through our hedge from next door. (They have a huge garden covered in brambles, weeds and self seeded trees!) Still raining here!
That looks so yummy! I really want to plant some blackberries in my yard. When I was a kid our neighbor had a huge patch of them and he'd let me pick them for Mom to make blackberry pie. I also used to pick some of them and sell them by the quart to some of our neighbors and family. Everyone loved them! Thanks for the memories!
Those blackberry dumplings look tasty, Tipper! Hope your visitors enjoyed the dessert.
This is about the time of the year our blackberries in the northwest are ready for picking and eating. I would make blackberry syrup that we would use on french toast that I would make from french bread or bread called "Texas Toast". Delicious, and so are your blackberry dumplings!
Yum that sounds good 😀
