Peach Preserves and Oatmeal Scones

10:12 AM Samuel

Hello everyone,
It is a beautiful September day here so I am just popping in for a few minutes to share the recipe for Oatmeal Scones that some of you asked for and the peach preserve recipe as well.

Last week I made some peach preserves from the Niagara baskets of peaches that I look forward to each year.Our winters seem to be too cold for peaches to grow here although that may be changing as I see peach trees are being sold here now.

The peach preserve recipe was basically the recipe here except I chopped by hand
instead of using the food processor and I used less sugar as they will not last long anyway!

The oatmeal scone recipe is pretty easy to make and they are delicious.

1 1/2 cups of flour- I usually use part spelt and part unbleached white flour
1/2 cup of rolled oats
1/3 sugar
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup of melted butter
1 egg
1/3 cup of milk

whisk dry ingredients together and then whisk liquid ingred. and add to dry.
mix gently together - knead a few times then flatten into a circle about 1/2 inch thick.
Place on cookie sheet.

Sprinkle top with a tablespoon of sugar or sugar and cinnamon.
Bake at 375 for about 15 min.

Enjoy !
