Glazed Blackberry Lime Scones

Glazed Blackberry Lime Scones at The Little Shop of Olive Oils

There’s something about a warm scone that feels like a quiet moment.

A cup of tea. A little sunlight coming through the window. And something fresh from the oven.

These Glazed Blackberry Lime Scones are tender and lightly sweet, with bursts of juicy blackberries and the brightness of fresh lime zest. But what makes them special is the splash of Blackberry Ginger Balsamic folded right into the dough.

It doesn’t make them taste tangy — it deepens the berry flavor and adds a soft warmth that balances the citrus beautifully.

We’re using Persian Lime Olive Oil instead of butter, which keeps the texture light and delicate while enhancing that citrus note. And the glaze? Just powdered sugar, fresh lime juice, and another tiny drizzle of balsamic to tie it all together.

They’re lovely for brunch, afternoon coffee, or wrapped up as a thoughtful homemade gift.

Soft. Bright. Just sweet enough.
