Pomegranate-Lemon Scones

Although the Spanish word for pomegranate is granada, it is not, as I once thought, named for the Spanish city that shares its name. According to the good ol' Wikipedia, its name comes from the Latin pōmum "apple" and grānātum "seeded." If you've ever actually opened a pomegranate, you'll understand why that name is appropriate. 

I had never actually prepared anything with pomegranate in it before, but seeing as how they're in season, when I came across this recipe for  Low-fat Pomegranate Scones I decided to try it. While the result did turn out a bit more like a cake than what I would consider scones, they were super good! The mixture of the pomegranate with vanilla extract and lemon zest smells so good and tastes even better. Eat them warm with a dab of butter! Yummm.
