Quick Blackberry Dumplings

• 1 quart fresh or frozen (loose-pack) blackberries
• 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, divided
• 3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
• 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 2/3 cup milk
• Cream or whipped cream, optional

1. In a Dutch oven, combine the blackberries, 1 cup sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt and extract; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, nutmeg, remaining sugar and salt. Add milk; stir just until mixed (dough will be very thick).
2. Drop by tablespoonfuls into six mounds onto simmering blackberry mixture. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into a dumpling comes out clean (do not lift cover while simmering). Spoon into serving dishes. Serve with cream or whipped cream if desired.
