As the Colorado fall weather begins to pick up, store-bought goods just don’t cut it anymore. Something freshly baked is the way to go for that cozy fall feel. If you’re not a fan of raspberries, you can easily substitute other fruits like blueberries, strawberries or even pumpkin in this raspberry scone recipe.

Part of what makes this recipe so great is that when you reheat or toast these scones, they still taste freshly baked every time. The glaze adds a touch of pizazz without overpowering the scone itself.

Fresh and frozen fruit works best with this recipe, but you can also use dried or soft fruits and pumpkin.
