YUM, I made a half recipe for 6 scones and used Splenda for the sugar. Since I'm inherently lazy I didn't bother with grating the 1/4 tsp of orange peel but added a crop of orange extract. Have to say that I really loved the strawberry chunks :D. They baked up very nicely and were truly delicious with Recipe #460276
