 Perhaps it's the cool weather, or perhaps it's the need for calmness before the hectic holidays, but whatever the reason a hot cup of tea and fresh scones warm our hearts every fall. Today's recipe is a wonderful fall flavored scone recipe from Westbrook Inn (Westbrook, CT). These scones mix in cranberries with orange juice and are topped with an orange flavored glaze.
