11008 Nectarine and Blueberry Slump 35 mins 10 mins 8 servings Fri Aug 28 06:52:00 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 28 07:27:24 -0700 2009 Easy American CHOW http://www.chow.com/recipes/11008 Fri, 28 Aug 2009 14:27:24 GMT Slowly simmered fruit and tender cornmeal dumplings Slowly simmered fruit and tender cornmeal dumplings. Like a stovetop cobbler, the slump and its fraternal twin the grunt combine sweetened fruit with dumplings (in this case, cornmeal), which fall or slump into the bubbling fruit mixture. This old-fashioned dessert is best served warm, scooped into bowls, and drizzled with heavy cream.

]]> For the dumplings:
  1. Stir together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground ginger in a large mixing bowl to combine, and break up any lumps. Mix half-and-half and melted butter together in a small bowl until evenly combined. Pour half-and-half mixture over flour mixture and stir until just combined (dough will resemble a cornbread batter). Set aside.
For the filling:
  1. In another large bowl, gently fold nectarines, blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice together then transfer to a large straight-sided skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until fruit starts to release some of its juice, about 6 minutes.
  2. Drop eight large dollops of batter over fruit mixture and reduce heat to medium low. Simmer, covered, until dumplings are cooked through and juices are bubbling, about 20 to 30 minutes.
  3. Remove the lid and continue cooking until dumplings are springy to the touch and no longer sticky, about 5 minutes more. Serve warm, drizzled with heavy cream.
