Lemon Cranberry Scones

Sometimes I get very odd and random food cravings (no, I'm not hinting at any baby news =p). A couple of weeks ago, I was craving dried fruit, so I bought some raisins, dried pineapple and dried cranberries. The cranberries didn't taste how I had remembered...maybe it's because I bought a different brand than before. I thought about throwing them out, but I decided to keep them because I figured I could find a way to use them in some type of baking experiment rather than wasting them.

Well a few days ago, the cranberries caught my eye in the pantry. I had a sudden craving for scones, so I decided to make cranberry scones....brilliant! I added a little bit of lemon zest to them to add some extra flavor, and the scones came out surprisingly well for a random experiment. I even got some very nice comments about achieving above average scone texture. :D
