Jane Jones is a fabulous cook. She works with Jason & Shelley Powell at Petals from the Past in Jemison, and has an arsenal of wonderful recipes. Here, she shares her instructions to make Blueberry Oat Scones. I'm going to give this a go sometime this week . If you're game, we have plenty of blueberries from Petals, so come get a pint and have fun.
