Blackberry Scones

Yes, it is that time of year. That time when there is an abundance of fresh, ripe, succulent blackberries. Mmmm, the juicy dark flesh that stains your fingers when you pick them and your mouth when you eat them. Yum!
This morning was quite wonderful and relaxing. I got up late, went running, made a yummy breakfast, showered and than went outside to pick berries. Mmm, lovely morning.
This afternoon I had to find some use for all the berries I picked. Humm, muffins? cake? pie? Been there, done that. I needed something yummy, food-ish and at least slightly new. Scones. Mhmmmm. I love scones. Scones are amazing. Scones are heavenly. Scones are perfect.

Mixed the dough, plopped it out, smoothed it around and chopped it into pieces. Not very elegant I know. But seriously that's basically all I did.

Put them into the oven to cook while I whipped up the icing.

Blackberry icing. Yum. ^_^

 All cooked and ready to ice. 

Blackberry icing. New, different and very purple. Love it. 

All done. Perfection. They tasted so amazing. Perfectly delicious. Definitely a keeper of a recipe. Someday ya'll will have to come over and have tea and scones with me.
