Makes 12

Ingredients:

Blood Orange and Raspberry Jam

5 blood oranges 

4 cups raspberries

1½ cups white sugar

Biscuits

125g butter

½ cup caster sugar

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

1½ cups plain flour

½ tsp baking powder

½ cup desiccated coconut

icing sugar, for dusting 

Method:

To make blood orange and raspberry jam: Squeeze juice from the oranges to make 4 cups.

Place juice, raspberries, and white sugar into a heavy-based pot and stir to combine. Bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 35-40 minutes, or until jam thickens.

Preheat oven to 180°C.

To make biscuits, place butter and caster sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat for 8-10 minutes, or until mixture is pale and creamy. Add egg and vanilla, and beat until well combined. Add flour, baking powder, and coconut, and beat for another minute.

Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Divide dough into 2 portions and roll out each portion between 2 sheets of baking paper to a 3mm thickness. Using a 7cm fluted cookie cutter, cut out 24 rounds and place on baking trays lined with baking paper. Using a 4cm cookie cutter, cut rounds from the centre of half the biscuits and discard. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until just golden. Let cool.

Spread solid rounds with jam and top with cut-out rounds. Sprinkle with icing sugar to serve.
