Fresh Cherry Scones
These tender, spiced scones balance the bright, jammy sweetness of fresh cherries with a subtle warmth from ground nutmeg and ginger. Crunchy walnuts and a touch of cornmeal add texture, while agave nectar lends just enough caramel-like depth without overpowering the fruit. Perfect for a leisurely morning or an elegant afternoon tea, they’re a study in contrast—soft yet sturdy, fragrant yet understated. A single bite delivers all the cozy satisfaction of a bakery favorite, with none of the fuss.
