DRIED CRANBERRY SCONES
I go on vacation with my best friend to Michigan every July. Her cousin is allowed to come, too-but only if she brings her special cherry scones! I make them with cranberries for the holidays. Don't try to double this recipe. If you need more than 12, make two separate batches of dough. -Sherry Leonard, Whitsett, North Carolina

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- NOTE: If you don't own a food processor, make these scones as you would make biscuits!
- In a food processor combine all of the dry ingredients, give a whirl to mix. With the food processor running, add pieces of butter, a couple at a time, and pulse until pea sized. Continue adding the butter until you use all of it.
- Add the heavy cream. Pulse until the dough comes together.
- Add the ginger and cranberries, and give a quick pulse.
- Remove the dough from the food processor, and knead on a lightly floured counter top. Pat into a circle, about 3/4 inch thick. Cut into 8-10 triangles.
- Place onto a baking sheet, with space between each one.
- Make an egg wash with the egg and a tablespoon of water. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the tops of the scones with the egg wash, and sprinkle a little sugar on each top.
- Bake for 15 - 20 minutes, until the scones are golden brown on the tops. Remove from the oven. Let cool for 5 minutes.

- Butter or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.

- Stir in the cranberries and mixed fruit peel, making sure not to crush the berries.
- Add the milk and stir until just combined. Do not over mix.

- Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
- Enjoy!
STICKY CRANBERRY GINGERBREAD
Sticky, spicy and full of cranberries, this gingerbread is perfect for the holidays. The recipe has been designed to make ahead, and will taste as good 2 days after baking as it does on the same day. (It will keep for 4 to 5 days.) To store it, wrap it well, stick it in the fridge and then bring to room temperature before serving. Whipped cream or crème fraîche, spiked with a little bourbon if you like, is nice on the side.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees and line a 9-inch square or round baking pan with parchment.
- In a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan, stir together cranberries, granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon water. Stir the cranberries over medium heat until the sugar is completely dissolved and cranberries form a sauce that is syrupy and bubbling thickly, about 10 minutes. Aim to have about half the cranberries broken down, with the remainder more or less whole.
- In a separate saucepan, stir together the butter, brown sugar, milk, maple syrup and molasses over medium heat. Bring it to just barely a simmer and then remove it from the heat. Do not let it come to a boil, or the mixture may curdle.
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, baking soda and black pepper. Beat in the butter-maple syrup mixture and then beat in the eggs. Stir in the ginger.
- Scrape the batter into the pan. Drop fat dollops of cranberry sauce onto the surface of the cake batter. Drag a long, slender knife through the batter in a swirly design, as if you are marbling a cake. Transfer the cake to the oven and bake it until the top is firm and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire baking rack and let the cake cool completely before eating it.

Tips:
- Soften the butter before using: This will make it easier to cream together with the sugar and help create a light and fluffy texture.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the scones tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries will give the scones the best flavor. If you only have frozen cranberries, thaw them before using.
- Grate the ginger: Grating the ginger will help release its flavor. You can also use ground ginger, but it will not be as flavorful.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help it hold its shape and prevent it from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the scones until they are golden brown: The scones should be baked until they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Conclusion:
These cranberry gingerbread scones are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are moist and fluffy, with a sweet and tangy flavor. The ginger adds a warm and spicy note that perfectly complements the cranberries. These scones are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
