Cranberry Orange Scones
Cranberry Orange Scones pair nicely with a cup of tea or coffee. Make a batch and share with friends and family. This recipe was created by LaKita Anderson of Simply LaKita for the 2016 Holiday Blogger Challenge we hosted. It’s a great recipe for the holidays but we enjoy it year round! You can even get creative and use our Cranberries Plus Blends for a more mixed berry or tropical flare.

Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and whisk together to make sure combined. In a small mixing bowl, stir together the heavy cream, orange zest, orange juice, and the Cape Cod Select Premium Frozen Cranberries.
- Make a well in the flour mixture and pour in the heavy cream mixture and stir until everything comes together to form a soft tough.
- Turn the dough out onto a clean lightly floured surface and turn it a few times until the dough sticks together in a ball. Flatten out the ball to form a circle about ¾ inches thick and cut the same way as you would a pizza.
- Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown.
- Remove the cranberry orange scones from the oven and while they are cooling for a few minutes make the orange glaze in a small bowl by whisking together the powdered sugar, orange juice, and orange zest. If you would like a thicker glaze to add more powdered sugar and if you would like a thinner glaze to add more orange juice.
- Drizzle the glaze over the scones and serve while still warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
