Once I read this recipe I couldn’t get it out of my mind. I have never heard of boiling dumplings in a blackberry syrup. I had a ton of blackberries that were too tart to eat alone. And I just had to see what this was all about! It was delicious! I couldn’t stop eating these and knew I shouldn’t,…

Blueberry Buttermilk Tart
