- 1 1⁄2 cups blueberries
- 1 1⁄2 cups raspberries

- 1⁄2 cup granulated sugar
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Topping
- 3⁄4 cup Bisquick
- 2 tablespoons cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1⁄4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1⁄4 cup buttermilk (see note above) or 1/4 cup sour milk (see note above)
directions
- In a bowl, toss berries together. Remove and reserve 1 cup mixed berries.
- Place remaining berries in a large, heavy pot. Add sugar, cinnamon, water and lemon zest. Cook over medium-high heat until thick and jammy, 10-12 minutes. Whisk lemon juice into cornstarch. Add to pot and stir. When thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon, add reserved berries and gently stir. Remove from heat, cover and set aside.
- In a bowl, whisk together Bisquick, cornmeal, sugar, baking soda and cinnamon. Stir in buttermilk until just moistened. It should be fairly stiff.
- Remove lid from pot. Using a small disher or large spoon, drop golf-ball-sized dumplings evenly over surface of fruit mixture. Drape a clean kitchen towel over the top of the pot, place the lid over it, and fold any hanging edges up over the top of the lid. Place over medium-low heat and simmer until dumplings have doubled in size and a toothpick inserted into the center of a dumpling comes out clean, 16-22 minutes.
- Serve with vanilla ice cream or lightly-sweetened homemade whipped cream.

I'm a 48 y/o gay Jewish man in the suburbs immediately north of New York City. I'm a general internist, practicing and teaching at a medical college north of NYC. I also earned a Masters in Public Health degree in 2013.
After a Walt Disney World trip in Dec 2006 where I had to rent an electric scooter because I couldn't manage the walking, I decided to have gastric bypass surgery, which was done Feb 28, 2007. I lost 160 lbs (though I've gained back about 60 of that since). I can't eat as much as I used to, so I want every bite to be extra good!
