Macadamia and blackberry jam drops
This quick and easy recipe is a great way to get the kids involved in the kitchen. Macadamias pair so well with the buttery shortbread biscuit and give them a beautiful texture. We love the tartness of blackberry jam, but feel free to experiment with a sweeter flavour if you prefer.
