Low Fat Dried Fruit Scones image

This is a low fat version of scones that is very tasty. If you can't find the dried plum puree at your store, combine 8 oz pitted dried plums with 6 Tbsp water in blender, processing until smooth. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 months. 1 serving = 2 Starch, 1 Fruit

These scones were a bit dry, but the flavor was good. I would try adding a little more butter or oil next time.

These scones were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I would try using less sugar next time.

This recipe was easy to follow and the scones turned out perfectly! I used a mix of raisins, cranberries, and apricots for the dried fruit, and they added a lovely chewy texture.
