A delicious and easy dessert! I've used peaches a number of times too and it always comes out beautifully. I do add a little corn starch mixed with water to the fruit to make it nice and thick. And if the dumplings are too large, they will be a bit undercooked in the time prescribed. I also love that I can put this on the stove before sitting down to dinner and it's hot and ready by the dessert course. Vanilla ice cream is a must! Enjoy.

This dish was delicious and this will be a regular dessert in my house. I substituted the dry ingredients with Bisquick and added the sugar. I used fresh blueberries which I always have on-hand, but they were not sweet and this dish was the perfect use for them. Yummy!!!

I am surprised by the five star rating on this. It is ok and I enjoyed it but will not make again. The general agreement in the family is that there are a lot of other recipes that would have been a better use of our blueberries. Like others, I but the sugar to less than one cup which is plenty.
This essentially is a hot blueberry sauce with doughy dumplings. I that is what you want go for it.
If you try this you need to have good blueberries. trying this with frozen poor quality blueberries is likely to be a real problem.
