Orange-Cranberry Scones with Cinnamon-Citrus Glaze #drinkTEN - Mama Harris' KitchenCan you guess my husband’s favorite soda, like, ever? It’s not clear and it’s not brown, in fact it’s orange. Yes, he loves his Sunkist. Whenever we have a party or a get together, that’s one of the first soft drinks he picks up. Not even realizing that other people may prefer the other flavors. What can I say; he’s a creature of habit.

It’s no secret that soda can be one of my not so best kept secret ingredients in my baking. 7-Up cake is one of my most popular recipes, and just recently I made little strawberry soda cakes and I also made some Dr. Pepper Brownies. While some of you may enjoy sipping your soda pop through a straw, I like to bake with mine. A few days ago I was shopping at Food 4 Less, which is under the Kroger family of companies, and I noticed a new soda that I just knew my hubby would love. It’s Sunkist TEN, which only has ten calories per serving with the same great taste he loves. It doesn’t even taste like diet soda. He was happy with my purchase, and so was I because that meant I could play with it and create another soda recipe!

Orange-Cranberry Scones with Cinnamon-Citrus Glaze #drinkTEN - Mama Harris' KitchenThe orange flavor inspired me to look at some of the fall flavor combinations that I love. One fall recipe I’m sure to make every year using oranges is my cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving and Christmas. It features fresh cranberries and orange juice, and I even grate a bit of orange zest in there for some extra pop. I also make a cranberry crumble coffee cake every year around the holidays and it has that same flavor combination. Usually when I think of orange I envision summertime, but add some cranberries to the mix and it’s an instant holiday party. So I decided to whip up some scones with the Sunkist TEN, and added some orange zest and cranberries. Soda creates a light cake with a nice crumble when baking, which I thought would be interesting since scones tend to be heavy and dense. I know when I think of scones I’m reminded of a heavy, solid and hard alternative to biscuits. I’ve had some great scones, but I know that it’s easy to accidentally end up with a heavy brick, and I surely didn’t want that!

I did use self-rising flour in this recipe because I wanted the scones to puff up, and that they did. My eight slices were rather large, so you can alternatively roll this into a square disc and cut the dough into squares, then cut each square diagonally for a smaller triangular shape. I liked the large scones and although they felt heavy they were surprisingly light when bit into. That touch of cinnamon in the glaze adds just the right oomph to a delicious recipe.

Orange-Cranberry Scones Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup orange zest (about 2 large navel oranges)
  • 1/3 cup white granulated sugar
  • 4 cups self-rising flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup Sunkist TEN
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries

Cinnamon-Citrus Glaze Ingredients:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 2 teaspoons juice from navel orange
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

Orange-Cranberry Scones with Cinnamon-Citrus Glaze #drinkTEN - Mama Harris' KitchenPreheat your oven to 350 degrees and raise the rack to an upper middle spot.
Place cranberries in a bowl or pot of hot water, almost boiling. Let steep for a few minutes, then drain.

Orange-Cranberry Scones with Cinnamon-Citrus Glaze #drinkTEN - Mama Harris' KitchenIn a medium mixing bowl, combine the orange zest with white sugar, mixing by hand.
Add in the self-rising flour and salt and cut through with a pastry cutter or butter knife.

Orange-Cranberry Scones with Cinnamon-Citrus Glaze #drinkTEN - Mama Harris' KitchenIn a separate bowl combine the egg and the cream, whisking together.
Add the Sunkist TEN to the bowl and fold it in.

Orange-Cranberry Scones with Cinnamon-Citrus Glaze #drinkTEN - Mama Harris' KitchenPlace the flour mixture on a large, flat surface and create a well with the powder.
Carefully pour the liquid mixture into the middle, and fold it in until just combined.

Orange-Cranberry Scones with Cinnamon-Citrus Glaze #drinkTEN - Mama Harris' KitchenAdd the cranberries and fold them in until dough just begins to form.

Orange-Cranberry Scones with Cinnamon-Citrus Glaze #drinkTEN - Mama Harris' KitchenTurn out dough on a floured surface and form a disc shape.
Sprinkle with a little bit of flour to prevent drying, and let sit for about ten minutes. This is when I preheat my pan; I find it helps to use an already heated pan.

Orange-Cranberry Scones with Cinnamon-Citrus Glaze #drinkTEN - Mama Harris' KitchenCut into triangle shapes. I cut eight rather large pieces, you can either cut the pieces smaller or turn the dough into a square shape, then cut into squares and cut into each square diagonally, creating a triangular shape.

Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat, and carefully place the cut dough onto the sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-45 minutes*, or until top layer is golden and inside dough is cooked through.

*If you’ve cut smaller pieces it may need less cooking time.

Orange-Cranberry Scones with Cinnamon-Citrus Glaze #drinkTEN - Mama Harris' KitchenWhile the scones are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small mixing bowl add the powdered sugar and cinnamon, and then add the milk, juice from the orange and vanilla extract. Mix together until smooth.

Orange-Cranberry Scones with Cinnamon-Citrus Glaze #drinkTEN - Mama Harris' KitchenRemove scones from the oven and allow to cool. I just love all those orange flecks of zest. So pretty!

Orange-Cranberry Scones with Cinnamon-Citrus Glaze #drinkTEN - Mama Harris' KitchenDrizzle the glaze over the top of the scones.

    Dawn, these look sooo good! I’ve only used soda a few times, once with pulled pork. I’m getting more and more into baking because I’m being pushed by my six year-old who loves to cook/bake. She’ll definitely want to try these!

    I think these are making it to the Thanksgiving breakfast table – or maybe even Christmas. Absolutely delicious

    I LOVE scones, and I love the idea behind this – I would never have tried this with pop. I’ve never baked with it before, but I think this has huge promise. It looks so yummy!

(AD) There has been a lot of cooking going on this year, so I’ve tried to make life a bit easier by getting creative with my leftovers. These pulled pork totchos are a great example of leftovers with a few key ingredients to create something new to keep our meals exciting. Adding a few key ingredients like @lamorenausa adobo peppers and jalapeños and carrots definitely livens up something simple. La Morena peppers are hand selected, using only the highest quality peppers to bring you authentic home style flavors of Mexico. I purchased my La Morena items from my local Safeway, but you can find them at your favorite grocery store in the international food section. #PayItForwardwithLM #VivaLaMorena #WeCanWithLaMorena 
 
INGREDIENTS:
- 32 oz tater tots
- 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend + Pepper Jack)
- 2 cups prepared bbq pulled pork (check my pulled pork sliders recipe!)
- 1/2 can La Morena Adobo Peppers & Sauce
- 2 tablespoons sour cream 
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- 1 cup pico de Gallo
- 1/2 cup guacamole
- 3 chopped green onions 
- 3-4 La Morena jalapeños and carrots, sliced

INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare tater tots as instructed, in air fryer or oven. Heat oven to 450°. 
Cover the bottom of a large cast iron skillet with the cooked tater tots. 
Top with 1 1/2 cup of cheese. 
Combine the chopped adobo peppers and sauce with the prepared bbq pulled pork. Spread the pulled pork mixture on top of the tater tots, then top with the remaining cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
Top with sour cream, ranch, pico de Gallo, guacamole, green onions, and sliced jalapeños and carrots.

Enjoy!! 😋

Hello Instagram fam! 💖 There’s some new faces around here and it’s been a while since I showed mine!

I’m Dawn, creator of Mama Harris’ Kitchen, and I’m so glad you’re here with me! In this space I share my family-friendly recipes for all occasions, whether it be a 30-minute meal for those busy weeknight dinners or a full spread for entertaining a crowd - and everything in between.

Mama Harris’ Kitchen began back in 2012, in fact it’s 8 years this month! 🥳  What started as a way to document my newfound cooking hobby while managing my “new” life as a stay-at-home wife and mom to a 1 and 3 year along with teens and preteens, and it quickly grew into what it is now - a recipe resource for busy families like mine that enjoy flavorful and comforting home-cooking using pantry staples along with fresh and local ingredients as often as possible. 

🍿Five fun facts about me:
1. I LOVE elephants! 🐘 I collect a lot of elephant items, whether it’s trinkets or  artwork, notepads etc. I love what elephants symbolize and I truly love anything elephant related.
2. I’m a total plant lady! 🌱 I have about 35 houseplants, give or take, and there’s still more on the list of wants. Plants have become such a peaceful outlet for me, and I feel that they really center me within my space. I love the element plants bring to your space and the feel of your home with them in it, and new leaves are so exciting!
3. I have seven tattoos and I have plans for about eight more. 💉 Those that know me aren’t surprised, but those that follow me here tend to find it a bit surprising. 🙃
4. I’ve been a mother for a long time, over half my life! I’ve also been a lot of different “types” of mom - teen mom, single mom, working mom, stepmom, stay at home mom, PROUD mom, military mom, mother in law - the list goes on. No matter what, motherhood looks different for everyone and there’s unique challenges and experiences each mother faces. Please be gentle with yourself! ❤️At the end of the day we’re all just trying our best!
5. I’m a bit of an introvert, and often struggle with the “social” aspect of social media. I tend to go silent sometimes, but I’m working on it.

☀️Thank you for joining me here!
