TRIPLE SEC CREAM SCONES
The orange flavored raisins make these so good. Make sure to soak them at least 15 minutes! EDIT: I tried these with cranberries and they do not work as well as the raisins. I would imagine any *dried* fruit would work best, since letting it soak in liquid (triple sec) reconstitutes its moisture, whereas cranberries will not absorb as much liquid. Hope that helps!
