Strawberry Scones

With strawberries in season and always on sale at the market, I seem to have more of those delicious red berries than I know what do with. I’d never had a strawberry scone before and let me tell you – it’s fantastic! As you eat them throughout the week, try putting it in the toaster to warm it up before you eat it.
