Blueberry Cheddar Biscuits with Lemon Marmalade
Our Lemon Marmalade with Lavender is wonderful in all it’s traditional uses. We suggest you add a teaspoon of this to your summer cocktails or winter tea rather than the classic sweeteners. Perhaps blended with some ice for a light summer cool down on a hot afternoon.
Some have asked what one puts Lemon Marmalade on. This often perplexes me since I can think of many things to put Lemon Marmalade on. Other than the obvious toast or cheese pairings, it’s nice in a hot cup of tea instead of sugar or even in an even cocktail. These Blueberry Cheddar biscuits are a perfect match for those uncertain about what to put that Lemon Marmalade on.
These Blueberry Cheddar biscuits are of course wonderful for a morning breakfast, even an afternoon social gathering. A thoughtful gift for a friend who might be feeling a bit blue. Of course how can you go wrong with fresh blueberries and your favorite sharp cheddar cheese? Adding that sweet tartness of the Lemon Marmalade brings all the flavors together with just the right balance.
These Blueberry Cheddar Biscuits are so easy to create you’ll be wishing blueberry season came faster! No matter what your friends may say, remember these are biscuits, not scones. Wink!
