Ingredients
-
1 26-ounce packages (12) frozen unbaked biscuits
-
2 4-inch sprigs fresh thyme
-
1 6-ounce package dried cranberries (1-1/3 cups)
-
2 3-ounce package dried cherries (1-1/3 cups)
-
2/3 cup pure maple syrup
-
Cayenne pepper (optional)
-
Pure maple syrup
Directions
1
Preheat oven to 375 degree F. Place biscuits on a large baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, remove leaves from thyme sprigs, discarding stems (you should have about 1 teaspoon leaves). In a food processor* combine cranberries, cherries, 2/3 cup maple syrup, and thyme leaves. Cover and process until mixture is a coarse paste. If desired, add cayenne pepper to taste.
3
Remove biscuits from oven. Using a fork, carefully split the warm biscuits horizontally. Spread 1 to 2 tablespoons of the fruit mixture onto bottom half of each biscuit. Replace biscuit tops. Brush biscuits with additional maple syrup. Bake for 5 minutes more. Serve warm. Makes 12 biscuits.
Test Kitchen Tip
If you do not have a food processor, chop dried fruit and place in a medium bowl. Stir in syrup, thyme, and, if desired, cayenne pepper.
