Loved the combo of cranberry & orange in these scones, but then I pretty much love that combo in almost anything, so maybe I'm not the best one to judge! Still, these are great tasting scones & the recipe a nice keeper! Thanks for sharing it with us! [Made & reviewed in Bargain Basement recipe tag]
