Thanks for your suggestion of OTHER things to do with the apricots
and
blueberries.

Hm, do you want a recipe for "Marillenknödel" = apricot dumplings ?

Cheers,

Michael Kuettner




I don't know if Boron does, but I would certainly like it. Please?

Ask and thou shalt be given ;-)

The dough :
(ca. 10 dumplings)

250 grams curds
170 g flour
60 g butter
1 egg
grated lemon rind
pinch of salt

Stir butter, lemon rind and salt until butter is smooth.
Add the rest of the ingredients and stir until you've got
a smooth dough.
Let it rest in the fridge.
If the dough is too soft, add flour, if it's too hard, add butter.
Always cook a test dumpling.

Now, the dumplings :
(serves 5 - 6)
500 g apricots
the dough from above
80 g butter
100 g bread crumbs
1 sugar cube (or marzipan) per apricot

Pit the apricots and insert a sugar cube or marzipan.
Wrap the dough around the apricot and form a dumpling.
Repeat until no apricot is left.
Cook the dumplings in simmering (slightly salted) water
for ca. 10 minutes.
In the meantime, heat a pan.
Put in the butter, let it melt and slightly brown the bread crumbs in
the
butter. Remove the dumplings from the water, roll them in the butter
bread crumbs and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Cheers,

Thank you, Michael! This looks delicious, and saved to try. For the
"curds", can I use large curd cottage cheese? I would imagine that one
might also use plums as a filling in this, too.

That's a tricky question. Since I don't know the product, could you point
me to a website where that product is described ?
Plums wouldn't work. But strawberries or cherries would.

Oh, cherries would be very nice.

I hope these give you an idea about cottage cheese.

A technical addendum : Form the dough into a roll (cylinder) on a floured
workspace.
Then cut off slices from the roll, flatten on your palm, add fruit, wrap
dough around it, press together the "seals" and form the dumpling.

Thanks, again...

Cheers,

Michael Kuettner
