Scones have a bread like texture and closely resemble the American biscuit. This is not to be confused with the Commonwealth biscuit which is called cookies here in the United States. Scones do have a slightly heavier texture than the biscuit. The American scones are larger, sweeter, and are sometimes shaped in a rectangle or triangle. They may include raisins, dates, and nuts. Often times they are also glazed.

Pumpkin Cranberry Scones are Easy to Make

Scones are really easy to make. If you are not particular about the shape, the dough can simply be dropped by the spoonfuls onto a baking sheet. For a more well defined shape, cookie cutters or molds may be used. I made these Pumpkin Cranberry Scones using a 3-inch round cutter.

Shortage of Canned Pumpkin

These Pumpkin Cranberry Scones are a good way to use up some of the leftover canned pumpkin puree from the Spiced Pumpkin Bread I made last week. I will have to think of another recipe to use up the remaining portion as I did buy a 29.5 oz can. I had to go to 3 stores before I finally found this can of pumpkin. According to the people at the store, the pumpkin crop took a beating last year which affected the supply. I hope this will not cause a run on canned pumpkins at the stores. ๐Ÿ˜‰ The crop is supposed to be alright this year and so hopefully there will be more canned pumpkins out soon for the holiday baking.

Warm and delicious Pumpkin Cranberry Scones.

Tree Trimming

And now to share some pictures of the tree trimming at our home this past weekend. That guy was like 30 to 40 feet up on that tree trimming all those broken branches caused by the winds and storms of the past several weeks. He climbed the tree wearing a contraption with spikes strapped to his boots. With ropes tied to the upper branches, he was able to swing from one branch to the other like “Tarzan”. It was fascinating yet scary to watch. Definitely not for the faint of heart!

Tree trimming

The thicker branches were cut into 15 inch lengths to be used as firewood for the fireplace while the smaller branches were conveniently mulched.

    Oh my! I just made pumpkin scones two days ago and they turned out so very much nicer than I thought they would! I will also be posting about it soon. It’s been like a pumpkin fest in my kitchen lately since I bought a HUGE one recently ๐Ÿ˜€

    I hope you will be able to get all the pumpkin you need for the holiday season coming round the corner! Your scones look mouthwatering – I do love cranberries! Your photos are more beautiful with each post and I LOVE that (maple?) leaf shaped dish!

      I guess we are on the same page eh? Will definitely bemaking more pumpkin goodies. I have a nice pie pumpkin sitting on my counter and it looks really pretty. Will have to do something with it soon.

      I think I am done with canned pumpkins for now but I hope the supply will improve for the holiday baking. A pumpkin pie for the Thanksgiving table is almost a must!

    I seldom make scones as my sons simply do not like them due to their dense texture. I only make them when I have people to share them with me. These look really good, would love to try it one day.

    Thanks for sharing the tree pictures as well. Isn’t it amazing what they’ll do? We just had some work done on our backyard and had a couple trees removed. I was shocked at how quickly they were able to get up there and get them down.
