The scone looked very inviting especially with the newly-made jelly. I have never tried quince jelly, but have read about it on several blogs.Beatrice P.

And I think it is terrific that you put those crab apples to good use, since it sounds like they would have been wasted otherwise. So much free fruit goes unused - I think most people are almost afraid to pick wild apples because they aren't as perfect as in the grocery store. Its like if they aren't grown in an orchard, they aren't edible. Just last night my husband picked 4 gallons of apples from trees in front of a business park. They were completely loaded with decent apples, so we will turn them into cider. And don't worry about your scone diet - you got plenty of vitamins from your crab apple jelly!Life With The Crewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05114992794424444796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515007843975800463.post-66536318796650371982017-09-16T09:40:45.019+01:002017-09-16T09:40:45.019+01:00I agree with you on the plate method it is too sev...I agree with you on the plate method it is too severe. I do have a thermometer I was given as a birthday present which is handy. I made some crab apple jelly a few years back and put various springs of herbs into it and the rosemary one was particularly good with lamb. Good work lady!

When I make cheese scones, the particular book I use - Be-Ro Recipes, it says to roll the dough mix into a circle, I put it on a stone based pizza circle and then cut into 8 segments. It just reminded me when I saw yours, love scones.

Love your triangular scones, I am definitely doing mine that shape next time. A day eating just scones and jam (and I think I would add clotted cream...) is pretty much my perfect day. Happy sigh. Have a lovely weekend Christina.
