1 1/2 lbs. cured ham or 1 hamhock
1 c. dried apple snitz
Brown sugar (2 tbsp. or so, to taste)

Wash snitz; cover with water and soak overnight. Cover ham with cold water and cook slowly for 3 hours. Add apples and the water they were soaked in. Add brown sugar and cook 1 hour longer. Use dumpling recipe for knepp (or Bisquick). Can also be made without meat by preparing snitz as above, sweeten with brown sugar and add 3 tablespoons butter or meat fryings.

DUMPLINGS:

1 1/2 c. flour
3/4 c. milk
2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. salt

Sift dry ingredients together and mix with milk. Drop in boiling broth as soon as mixed. Boil 10 minutes, uncovered. Boil 10 minutes, covered (do not lift lid, will spoil dumplings).
