Papaya and Coconut Scones with Vanilla Glaze

Serves 8

When life gives you lemons - throw them down the garbage disposal and make a fresh batch of scones. Seriously, scones will make you feel better, especially served with a nice cup of tea or coffee. Yum! I love baking scones . . . and what I love most is changing up a traditional recipe and adding my favorite dried fruits. Today I made these amazing papaya and coconut scones with dried cranberries and I topped them with a simple vanilla glaze. They were so good in fact that they were gone the same day. The recipe makes 8 large scones and for a family of four, everyone gets one for breakfast and one for an afternoon snack. Then the entire batch was gone, gone . . . gone! I think they looked like they were made by a pastry chef, which I am not. Don't you think they look absolutely amazing!?!? They were so lovely in fact - I think they would make a lovely baked holiday gift. Imagine them in a nice holiday tin - perfection! Anyone would rave over these as a gift. This recipe can be easily adapted by adding your favorite dried fruits. I like to use cranberries, raisins, dried apricots and coconut. But you could use any dried fruit including figs, blueberries and many more. I love, love hearing from you . . . you bring a smile to my face and warmth to my heart. Thank you to all of you wonderful people sharing my recipes. Happy November and happy cooking! Cecelia
