Stone fruit slumpA Sweet Spoonful's Megan Gordon plays it equally coy with a play on "slump" (Webster's Desk Dictionary, definition number three: "to decline markedly") and slump, the fruit cobbler/steamed pudding cognate. Gordon:
This is not necessarily the most beautiful, visually stunning dessert you've ever seen. I probably wouldn't make it for royalty or even for, say, a bachelorette lunch. Stick with petite fours for that one. Or maybe a pavlova. But I love slumps for their simplicity: you slice up a bowl of fruit, heat the fruit in a pan on the stove top, cover it with a simple dumpling dough, put the lid on, and steam away for about 20 minutes. Done.We imagine, were we a bachelorette, we would like nothing better than the share a dish of peach slump with our BFFs. Seriously.
