How to Make Cherry Grunt

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon orange zest.
  2. Pour in 1 cup half-and-half and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  3. In a 10-inch skillet, combine 4 cups fresh cherries (pitted), 1 cup water, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons orange juice, and 1/2 teaspoon orange zest.
  4. Bring the cherry mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the simmering cherries, creating 6-8 dumplings.
  6. Reduce heat to a gentle simmer, cover the skillet, and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a dumpling comes out clean.
  7. Serve immediately. Top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, if desired.
