JAMAICAN SWEET FESTIVAL DUMPLINGS

JAMAICAN SWEET FESTIVAL DUMPLINGS

Jamaican sweet festival dumplings always remind me of my now departed former pastors wife.  She would make these and sneak me bags of them on Sundays when I was first a child, then a teen and finally as a young married mom.

They are delectable crispy on the outside, soft and warm on the inside morsels with a hint of sweetness that are enjoyed on their own but also pair perfectly with spicy or savory foods, making them a staple on most Jamaican dinner tables. The recipe is simple, but for me,  they are packed with tradition and memories of the sweetest Jamaican woman who has made a huge impact on my life.
