Huckleberry slump

Prep: 20 minutesCook: 30 minutesMakes: 6 servings

This is a colonial New England specialty that has become a part of the culinary tradition of the Pacific Northwest. Adapted from “Northwest Bounty” by Schuyler Ingle and Sharon Kramis.

6 cups huckleberries or blueberries

1 cup sugar plus 1 teaspoon

1/4 cup orange juice

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 1/2 cups flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 stick (1/4 cup) chilled butter, cut into small pieces

1/2 cup half-and-half or milk

1 cup whipping cream

1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

1 Combine huckleberries, 1 cup of the sugar, orange juice and cinnamon in a large saucepan. Heat huckleberries to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until slightly thickened, 5 minutes.

2 Mix together flour, salt and baking powder in a medium bowl; cut in butter until size of peas. Add half-and-half; mix lightly to form a soft dough. Drop dough by spoonfuls onto huckleberries; cover. Reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer until dumplings are cooked through, 30-40 minutes.

3 Meanwhile, whip cream with the remaining 1 teaspoon of the sugar and nutmeg until soft peaks form. Serve slump in shallow bowls with the whipped cream.
