Cranberry Pecan Scones-Throwback
Hello everyone! It’s Jo here. I was looking back through the archives and saw this scone recipe, and as today is a cozy snow day, I thought it’d be a perfect time to indulge with scones for tea time.
This a variation of the original, I added fresh Cranberries and Pecans for a festive taste.
To top it all off, I also whipped up a batch of mock Devonshire cream. Yummy! However, I would like to find a good recipe for REAL Devonshire cream. Any suggestions?

These scones look so good. We love drinking tea. We also have a bakery within walking distance from our house and we always buy scones there. I think my favorite flavor scone is apricot. We have never made scones ourselves not sure why we haven’t. I guess I always thought they were hard to make. You always make everything look so beautiful. 🙂
