Orange-Cranberry Scones with Turbinado Sugar



I found this recipe while thumbing through my Food and Wine 2010 Annual Cookbook.  What caught my eye was the lack of heavy cream in this recipe as well as the simplicity.  Five star rating, nothing flashy just basic, easy and good.
Here is the direct link on their web site Food and Wine.
