That doesn’t mean you can’t still enjoy these non traditional scones with the classic accoutrements of bitter orange marmalade, clotted cream and lemon curd.

Although you can make these irresistible Pumpkin Scones with canned pumpkin, I prefer the flavor with home roasted pumpkin. It’s definitely more flavorful and less watery than most canned pumpkin brands.

Let’s check the pantry and add any ingredients to the shopping list we need.

  • Then you add the rest of the wet ingredients until you have a dough. The dough will seem quite dry, but DO NOT add more liquid.
  • Knead by hand and the heat of your hand will bring the ingredients together into a soft dough.

  1. I have never found the need to prepare cranberry sauce for my Indian food and so vave never tried it. I paid atttention for the first time and noticed what ingredients go into it. It must be really good with all that yummy stuff.
    And pumpkin scones too look good.

  2. The combination of pumpkin and cranberry is totally new to me. I need to try this as I love the color of pumpkin in your scones. Will let you know if and when I make it.

  3. Both the scones and the jam look so delicious. We don't get fresh cranberries here and the dried cranberries cost a lot. So never tried it. I have bookmarked your scones recipe and need to try it…

  4. The scones look good, but the scone pan looks great :). And I have never had a chance to get hold of good berries here in Chennai. The strawberrys are tart and the rest of them cost a bomb!

    But am happy to get a virtual treat here 🙂

  5. finding cranberries in india is difficult and when we do, they are very expensive ….these look great together…loved the step by step pics that you put together and appreciate the efforts that goes in it
