Valentine scones with cherry

 

Today is is Valentine's day as well Shrovetide Sunday on the one and same day, which I am celebrating by baking both Valentine scones as well as Shrovetide bun on the very same day.

The Valentine twist to the scones is a combination of both cherry juice from the Amarena cherries together with Amarena cherries.
