Mixed Berry Scones

Mixed berry scones are filled with strawberries and blueberries a great way to start your morning off.

Mixed berry scones are tender and fruity and are topped with a lemon icing. They are a great way to start your morning or as an after school snack or even as a dessert.

It has been a while since I did a post about scones. So I thought it was time to make another batch to share on the blog. Actually, I have made them a couple of times this summer. Scones never seem to hang around too long at our house, especially when our kids stop in to see us, they have a tendency to come home hungry.

I like to visit a blog called Spiced; David always has mouth watering recipes on his blog. I was reading his recipe for Mixed Berry Coffee Cake. It’s a scrumptious looking coffee cake; I really liked the blueberries and raspberries that he used in this recipe. Although I did not have raspberries I did have strawberries in the refrigerator.

And the strawberries and blueberries were in need of being used. I like to stock up on fresh fruit in the summer, you can say that my eyes are bigger than my stomach. Well, David’s inspirational coffee cake saved the strawberries and blueberries from not being used.

Do you have fruit that needs to use up before it goes bad? Try mixing up fruit for some new flavors.

I hope if you are looking for a new scone recipe that you will try these mixed berry scones.
