Cranberry Pecan Scones

I have made these Cranberry Pecan Scones for years. You can add what you like to these but I like the sour cranberries with the sweet white chocolate and the pecans. They freeze well and don’t need much time to defrost, maybe 30 min.

I love a nice toasted scone in the morning for breakfast. Ken is more of a traditional eggs and bacon type of breakfast eater. However, I find that if I have something lighter in the morning it gets me going and I can work all the way to lunch, no problem. Both Ken and I enjoy a coffee first thing, however, I’m a decaf drinker as I am allergic to caffeine and he is high test all the way!

Enjoy!!
