Blueberry, Cranberry & Pecan Soft Scones

These are extremely decadent! Moist, sweet, tart and buttery. I was on the hunt for unsweetened cranberries and apparently they don't exist at the supermarket. One of the guys in produce suggested I try fresh cranberries. It was a revolutionary thought. I realized I had never actually eaten a fresh raw cranberry. My bet is that you haven't either. Turns out they are delicious! So I used fresh cranberries in the scones and I was very pleased with the way they turned out.

what can I replace palm shortening with? Connie
Coconut oil or ghee
This recipe already calls for 4Tbsp of ghee or coconut oil. If the palm oil gets replaced by ghee as you suggested to the prior question do I just increase the ghee to 8 Tbsp. ? There is no ingredient listed in the form of a sweetener. Is that correct? I can’t have most sweententers anyway so that’s fine. Thanks so much.
Yes on the ghee and I have updated the recipe in regards to sweeteners. Sorry about that it must have gotten left out when I moved my website.
Do you cook the cranberries or use them raw when you cut them?
I put the cranberries in the batter raw.
