Steps:

• Stir together water, sugar, and ginger (if using) in skillet until combined.
• Add sliced peaches. Bring to a gentle boil over low heat.
• Meanwhile, add flour, baking powder, and baking soda to a large bowl. Stir to combine.
• Cut in butter with a pastry blender until like coarse crumbs.
• Stir in buttermilk.
• Drop dough over the fruit mixture. Cover and cook over low heat until dough is cooked through - about 15 minutes.
• Serve with the fruit sauce "slumped" over the dumpling.

PEACH AND BLUEBERRY CRUMBLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Immerse the peaches in boiling water for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until their skins peel off easily. Place them immediately in cold water. Peel the peaches, slice them into thick wedges, and place them in a large bowl. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, granulated sugar, and flour. Toss well. Gently mix in the blueberries. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes. Spoon the mixture into ramekins or custard cups.
• For the topping, combine the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and the butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix on low speed until the butter is the size of peas. Rub the mixture with your fingertips until it's in big crumbles, then sprinkle evenly over the fruit. Place the ramekins on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the tops are browned and crisp and the juices are bubbly. Serve warm or at room temperature.
• If you want to make these early, store the unbaked crumbles in the refrigerator and bake before dinner.
