Orange Cranberry Scones There is nothing I like more than to sit down with a hot cup of tea and a freshly baked scone! These scones bring me back to my days as a restaurant owner where we made our own orange cranberry scones from scratch. There is something about these two flavors (orange and cranberry) that tastes so amazing! They are slightly sweet and slightly tart all at the same time. The cranberries add such a nice texture to the scones. You could change this recipe up anyway you like. How about blueberry scones or chocolate chip scones? Use your imagination and I am sure you will come up with your own favorite personalized scones recipe!
