I don't claim to be able to find all the recipes here that include cranberries & oranges, but when one slaps me in the face, I usually pay attention, as I did with this one! I was generous with the orange zest in the scones & also included a bit of minced zest in the glaze as well ~ ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE FLAVOR OF THESE BERRIES & ORANGES together, & I think the combo of both the dried & fresh cranberries added a very tasty touch! A wonderful keeper of a recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my groupmates in the Aus/NZ Recipe Swap #36]

I am blessed with a wonderful dh and four fantastic, crazy children. I am a stay at home mom who works from son up till son down.
My favorite cookbook is not one that I cook with very often, it actually sits on top of my pantry propped up in an old basket. The cookbook was given to my grandmother just prior to her marriage to my grandfather and it has the family prayer and some recipes that my great-grandmother penned in her own hand inside. It is called All About Home Baking.
