Cherry Cream Scones image

Serve these for breakfast or a brunch. They're also a great after-school snack. They freeze well besides-simply thaw, warm and serve when you need them. We live in a cherry-producing region-and every guest expects to find some on our table! My husband and I have three children...20,11 and 9.
