While Labor Day is the unofficial beginning to fall, the true date is not until the end of September! While it is fast approaching, I think it’s important to use the fresh flavors of summer just a little while longer while they’re still ripe and at their peak flavors.
A simple way I love to enjoy peaches and raspberries is in these rustic scones. Usually, if I’m having a scone, I just eat some fruit on the side. But then one day, I thought – well, why not stuff it inside!? You’ll soon see why this idea was long overdue. These scones are simple to make and so delicious!
I love to enjoy these with a little cinnamon butter (4 tablespoons room temperature salted butter mixed with 1 teaspoon cinnamon) or just by themselves. These aren’t overly sweet, letting the flavor of the fruit shine through! Enjoy the last fresh flavor of summer!
