Cranberry & Raisin Scones image

Usually I find scones too dry but these are very moist! Serve them warm from the oven with butter & preserves - or make a day ahead & store in an air-tight container. You can use just cranberries or just raisins but I prefer the combination. If you don't have 18% cream (table cream in Canada) you can replace with 1/2 cup of whipping cream (heavy cream) + 1/2 cup of whole milk or 2% milk - but not 1% or skim milk!

I'm not a huge fan of cranberries, but I loved these scones! The raisins and the orange zest really balanced out the tartness of the cranberries.

I found these scones to be a bit too sweet. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

These scones were a little too dense for my taste. I think I would use a little less flour next time.
