These scones are jam-packed with flavor by combining the subtle sweetness of our Seedless Blackberry Fruit Spread with the tanginess of the lime—this flavor combination is super refreshing, creating an oasis for your taste buds.

Directions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, salt, baking soda, baking powder, lime juice and lime zest. Give it a quick mix with a wooden spoon or whisk. Quickly cut the cold butter into small chunks then work them in to the mixture using your hands or two forks. Set aside.
