Semolina Dumpling with Plum Roaster
These semolina dumplings are fluffy, soft and sooo delicious! We love these dumplings. Can be served after a soup for lunch, or as dessert in the evening.

With the “side dish” compote, roaster or fruit sauce, you can create a great variety. Also very tatsty with a plum-roaster – as here – an apple-compote, apple-sauce, elder roaster or strawberry sauce.

These semolina dumplings are really easy to prepare and can also be prepared in advance, ideal if you eat them as a dessert. All you have to do before serving is, put the dumplings in boiling water and roll them into the breadcrumbs.

You absolutely have to try them. They are soo yummy!!!!

- 1 kg plums
- 125 ml water
- 1 shot of redwine
- juice of a lemon
- 4 pieces of cloves
- 1 cinnamon bark
-
Cut the plums in half and remove the pit.
-
Put cinnamon and cloves in a spicebag
-
put water, sugar, redwine, lemon juice and the spicebag in a pot and bring to boil.
-
Add the plums and boil for some minutes until soft.
-
Remove the spice bag.
-
Fill the hot stewed plums in the prepared jars and close them immediately.
-
Let the jars cool completely.
Please note: Jars have to be very clean. I place the jars and lids in the sink and pour boiling water over. Fill plums in hot jars and close.
When a lid has “retracted”, the plums will keep well until, at least a year. Store in a cool and dark place. (e.g. in the Basement)
Enjoy cooking!
