Cherry Berry Scones
The perfect way to start your morning is with these warm, flaky Cherry Berry Scones. These delicious treats are packed with a sweet and tangy burst of flavor.
It’s SRC reveal day! YIPEE! I can’t wait. It’s been FOREVAH! At least it feels like that.
For those that don’t know, SRC (Secret Recipe Club) is a group of extremely talented bloggers, chefs, and food-thousiasts like myself. Once a moth participants are assigned a another participant’s blog. We peruse their blog and find a recipe to make. When we make or remake the recipe, we post about it on the assigned day. I’m not explaining it all that well. It’s awesome and I’ve found some really wonderful blogs to follow and be inspired by.
I was assigned Flying on Jess Fuel. I spent tons on my assignee’s blog. She’s ADORABLE! And apparently, can pound the jalapenos! *giggle* Her hubby’s in the Navy so they get to travel some. I can see some of the influences of the places they’ve been in her recipes.
There were many recipes to chose from.
It was so difficult to find one to make. Jess has all types of recipes. It truly was difficult to find one recipe to make. They all looked soooooo good. I finally settled onto the Cherry Berry Scones. I don’t make enough scones. And I landed on these because of the cherry chocolate thing going on. So, I made those. And they were delicious. And people devoured them.
Please make sure to stop by Flying on Jess Fuel and visit the original recipe. I made my lightened version here. And I added in some chocolate. Because who doesn’t like chocolate?
