Also in "Aunt Sarah's" column, REC: Cherry Dumplings

The recipe called for canned cherries, but I make them with boiled down pitted cherries. So good! (Shh, don't tell Aunt Sarah, but I used Pillsbury biscuits for the dough.)

Make a biscuit dough using:
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 T butter
3 t b powder
1/4 t salt
1/2 cup milk

Roll out and cut in large circles. Fill each with well-drained canned cherries then bring in the sides and pinch the top of each dumpling together. Place in a deep baking dish and cover with 2 cups of sugar and dot with 2 T butter. Pour boiling water over all until the dish is half full and bake 1 hour.
