Mohamed Shili One of my favorite Pioneer Woman dessert recipes is Blackberry Dumplings, made with fresh or frozen blackberries, sugar, salt, lemon extract, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and milk. It takes around 40 minutes to prepare and serves 8 people. Serve your Blackberry Dumplings with peach ice cream, whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a drizzle of honey.
To make these Blackberry Dumplings, Ree Drummond combines blackberries, sugar, and lemon extract in a Dutch oven, then simmers. She mixes flour, baking powder, and milk to form a dough, which is dropped into the blackberry mixture and simmered until done.
Whether you are making her Apple Dumplings, Blueberry Cream Cheese Pie, or Blackberry Dumplings, Pioneer Woman recipes are always comforting and full of flavor.

How To Make Pioneer Woman Blackberry Dumplings
- Prepare the Blackberry Mixture: In a Dutch oven, mix blackberries, 1 cup sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and lemon extract. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
- Make the Dumpling Dough: While the blackberries are simmering, take a bowl and combine flour, baking powder, nutmeg, remaining sugar, and salt. Add milk to this and stir until just mixed. The dough will be thick.
- Cook the Dumplings: Drop the dough by tablespoonfuls into 6 mounds onto the hot blackberry mixture. Cover tightly and simmer for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in a dumpling comes out clean.

What To Serve With Blackberry Dumplings
Serve Blackberry Dumplings with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added creaminess. A sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of honey can enhance the flavor. Pair with a light dessert wine or a cup of hot tea for a complete dessert experience.
How To Store Blackberry Dumplings
Store Blackberry Dumplings in an airtight container. Separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking. They will stay fresh for up to 2 days in the fridge. For longer storage, consider freezing.
In The Fridge
Place the dumplings in a sealed container. If in a dish, cover it with plastic wrap or a lid. They will keep well for 2-3 days. Ensure they are completely cool before refrigerating to maintain texture.
In The Freezer
Freeze Blackberry Dumplings by wrapping them individually in plastic wrap and then placing them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be stored for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.
How To Reheat Blackberry Dumplings
To reheat, place dumplings in a microwave-safe dish and cover. Microwave on medium power for 1-2 minutes or until heated through. Alternatively, reheat in an oven preheated to 350°F for about 10 minutes, covered with foil to prevent drying.
