Sweet Tomato Dumplings

I'm sitting here with Mom discussing things my grandma used to mak, meanwhile, looking up the recipes to see if there really is such a thing.  Some of these recipes have made me laugh.  Some have made me cringe.  Others have completely surprised me such as the Sweet Tomato Dumplings. 

Although the thought of tomatoes and dumplings combined left a funny taste in my mouth, I continued to Google the recipe and was surprised to find they actually sound quite yummy.  In fact, so yummy that I plan to make some this week.
