When Life Gives You Grapes...

Alls this needs is a tea to go with it Concord Grapes. What to do with concord grapes? I have a lone vine growing in my back yard. Last year, I harvested some of its fruit and ended up making jelly. It was thick, but fluid... a near-jelly that is best served with a spoon. This year, I have far more fruit to harvest! Why not try baking them into a scone? Turns out, they pair deliciously with the grape jelly. I'm going to have to get more jars for the 2019 harvest... and bake more of these scones! Of course, because these are grown in my back yard and not some giant farm somewhere, there are seeds. Lots of seeds. It took nearly 3 hours to pit a cup of these bad boys. Is theree some tool to make this faster? Mix ½ cup cooking/baking cream , 1 egg , and 1 egg yolk . Set Aside. Combine 2 ½ cups flour , ⅓ cup sugar , 1 tbsp baking powder , 1 tsp lemon zest , and ½ tsp kosher salt . Fold in 6 tbsp cold unsalted butter and cut until butter is pea-sized. M
