This time of year, I find myself drawn to the warmth and comfort of baking. There's something magical about spending a winter morning in the kitchen, with the aroma of fresh dough and citrus filling the air. It's the perfect way to embrace the comfort of the season, especially when the weather outside is chilly. One of my favorite winter baking projects is these Blueberry Orange Berries. They are easy to make, absolutely delicious and a seasonal staple in our house.
I love fresh blueberries and can never resist picking up when I find plenty. This week, I hit the jackpot Aldi and bought 10 bags for less than a dollar each! Blueberries are so versatile and I know I will find many ways to use them, but this recipe is always one of my first choices. Their crispness adds such a bright and fresh flavor to scones, especially when paired with sweet, juicy oranges – which are also in their prime and also affordable right now. Together, these two ingredients create a flavor combination that's both fun and comforting, making these cookies a must-bake this season.
These berries are soft and fluffy, with bursts of cranberry in every bite, and they're topped with a sweet, tangy orange glaze that takes them to the next level. Whether I'm enjoying them with my family at a leisurely breakfast or baking them up to share with friends, they always feel like a little celebration of the season. Let me walk you through the steps to make these wonderful winter favorites—you'll love how easy and rewarding they are to bake!
