During our first few months of being married, my father in law made us the family recipe for sausage gravy. Before that I had never had that kind of biscuits and gravy, only the kind that resembles gravy that goes on mashed potatoes. So to say it was life changing may not be too much of an exaggeration.

To add a cherry on top of the equation, I learned shortly after that how therapeutic making homemade biscuits can be. So now, it may be a labor of love but biscuits and sausage gravy is a breakfast staple in our house.

When Bonne Maman partnered with me to share a savory Mother's Day recipe using their blueberry preserves, I immediately thought to combine one of my favorite family recipes with blueberry preserves for a sweet and savory combination.

I'll admit, I was a bit nervous that this combination would flop. I went back and forth on how to combine the ingredients in a way that didn't just become a strange mush.

I decided to create kind of a biscuit sandwich, by putting a dollop of blueberry preserves in between two thin layers of biscuits. The result was easily 100x better than I imagined it would be. The perfect sweet and savory combination in every bite.

I just kept thinking "I'll never eat regular biscuits and gravy again." And I think it may be true. Sausage already has a hint of sweetness when paired with the right foods, so pairing it with Bonne Maman Blueberry Preserves made it that much more perfectly paired!

This recipe is one of those that seems a bit complicated, but the timing works out perfectly because you pop the biscuits in the oven while the sausage gravy is cooking. And the gravy can simmer on the stove for a long time if your steps get out of order and the biscuits aren't done at the same time as the gravy.

13. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.
14. While biscuits are cooking, prepare the gravy.
