APRICOT SCONES WITH HONEY APRICOT GLAZE

Good morning, Friends!

I hope you had a wonderful, productive week.  By the time you read this post, I’ll be at the vet with Dallas for his follow-up appointment.  If you’re clueless about Dallas and his follow-up appointment, read this.

I went overboard again. As a result, I purchased ( 2) 1-dozen packs of apricots at Costco, but lucky for you this week has two apricot recipes.

On Monday, I made this delicious apricot glazed salmon, and today these oh! so sweet and comforting scones. The apricots were screaming, “turn us into breakfast!” so I had to oblige them.

And on that note, I’m going to end the week with these golden delicious apricot scones with apricot honey glaze. I’m getting hungry just by saying it.

Happy weekend!
