★ Fruit Tarts or Dumplings

Ingredients

salt

Directions

Put blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, gooseberries, cranberries or any desired fruit in the bottom of a pudding dish; mix sugar, a little flour and salt together and add to berries. (Blueberries will require a little water.) Warm, and cover with crust as for baked apple dumpling. Bake when crust is light and serve without sauce.
Cranberries and gooseberries may be baked with very little if any sugar and served with hard sauce.
A tart of unsweetened peaches is nice served with plain or whipped cream.
