Grandmom gave me some blackberries that grow in the ranch. These are not wild ones but grown ones. I froze some of them and made myself delicious 'ice cream' for dessert after lunch on Sunday (well, that was yesterday and it seems so far away already!). I had some plums and made dumplings with them. I mixed some flour, curd, salt, one egg, rolled the dough and made only four dumplings out of it. Some put a bit of sugar into the plums but I don't do this, I prefer adding it after, if needed. I melted some butter, added a spoonful of bread crumbs and sprinkled this on top of dumplings. Yum!
I also baked some kind of a dessert from apples but I won't write much about it. Everything went wrong and it is good only if I pour lots of milk on it and then eat it. I will try some other recipe the next time. I still wonder what went wrong.On the upper photo: from my garden into the basket - potimaron squash, parsley, celery, carrots, red beet, rhubarb and flowers of calendula/pot marigold.

It all looks YUM - I'm wishing I'd been invited over.
:) You are always welcome if you are around!
Oh those blackberries - I'm so jealous! What a great bounty!
Plum dumplings!? I've never heard of them, but they look tasty. I'm thinking you should start a Slovenian cookbook with all the unique recipes and beautiful photographs that you take.
We usually use apricots, strawberries and plums to fill dumplings with. Some use jam for filling, too. I make dumplings with curd, most people use cooked and mashed potato instead (it is too time consuming for me when I come home hungry).
Cookbook? Maybe, when I am retired. :)
