I love the way the currant jelly melts in your mouth. It's the perfect complement to the rich flavor of the scones.

I'm not a big fan of scones, but these currant jelly scones were actually really good. I'll definitely be making them again.

The scones were delicious, but they were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I didn't have any currant jelly on hand, so I used raspberry jelly instead. The scones still turned out great!

The scones were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll add a little more milk next time.

These scones are a great way to use up leftover currant jelly. I always have a jar in my fridge and I'm always looking for new ways to use it.

I love the addition of currant jelly in these scones. It gives them a lovely tartness that balances out the sweetness of the sugar.

These currant jelly scones were an absolute delight! The crumbly texture and the tangy sweetness of the currant jelly filling were a perfect combination.
