Some things you have to do every day. Eating seven apples on Saturday night instead of one a day just isn't going to get the job done.
[Jim Rohn]

 

Watermelon --it's a good fruit. You eat, you drink, you wash your face.
[ Enrico Caruso]

Fruits are acceptable gifts, because they are the flower of commodities, and admit of fantastic values being attached to them. If a man should send to me to come a hundred miles to visit him, and should set before me a basket of fine summer-fruit, I should think there was some proportion between the labor and the reward.
[ Ralph Waldo Emerson]

Apricot Ginger Scones

 

Ingredients

3 1/4 cup flour, all purpose
1/3 cup sugar
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup dried apricots, diced (4oz)
1/3 cup crystalized ginger, diced 2 oz
1 tsp lemon peel, grated
1 cup buttermilk



 

Preparation

In a food processor or large bowl, whirl or mix together flour, sugar,
baking powder, soda, and salt. Add butter; whirl or rub with fingers
until coarse crumbs form. If using a food processor, add apricots,
ginger, and peel; pulse until just blended. Otherwise, stir them into
flour mixture. Add buttermilk and whirl or stir just until evenly
moistened.

Scrape dough onto a floured board and knead about 6 turns or until
dough holds together. On a 12x15 inch lightly greased baking sheet,
pat dough into an oval about 7x12 inches. With a floured knife, cut
diagonal lines through dough, forming 8 or 9 triangles.

Bake in a 400 degree oven until golden brown, about 25 minutes. Break
along scores to serve. Makes 8 or 9.
