Serving size: One. Not for sharing. Keep it simple.https://allsparkledup.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/1-rum-raisin-scone1.jpg1 Rum Raisin SconeIt all started with the Sloppy Joes last night. He needed molasses to make a homemade sauce but we were out. "Use a little Rum," I suggested. He considered but changed his mind. I googled rum sloppy joes but there wasn't a single recipe. So I poured a shot anyway. https://allsparkledup.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/10-rum-raisin-scone.jpg10 Rum Raisin SconeI broke the hot Rum Raisin Scone with the intent of sharing anyway. But they declined. So I enjoyed my Rum Raisin Scone for ONE.https://allsparkledup.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/9-rum-raisin-scone.jpg9 Rum Raisin SconeThe scone was flipped twice and took about 15 minutes on lowest heat. Hot and fresh from the griddle. https://allsparkledup.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/8-rum-raisin-scone.jpg8 Rum Raisin SconeThe glowing red burner light reminded me that something good was happening under the old scratched lid.https://allsparkledup.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/6-rum-raisin-scone.jpg6 Rum Raisin SconeDough shaped into one scone and placed in sizzling butter in the skillet.https://allsparkledup.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/5-rum-raisin-scone.jpg5 Rum Raisin SconeRaisins and a little cream stirred in with a fork. I used a little more flour, perhaps a teaspoon or so to make a dryer scone that I could shape by hand.https://allsparkledup.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/4-rum-raisin-scone.jpg4 Rum Raisin SconeDry ingredients mixed together. Soft butter squished in with a fork. Raisins spooned in. I didn't use the full half shot of raisins, just most. https://allsparkledup.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/3-rum-raisin-scone.jpg3 Rum Raisin SconeSingle Serving Rum Raisin Scone - 1/8 cup all purpose flour, 1 Tbsp whole wheat flour, 1/2 tsp brown sugar, 1/4 tsp baking powder, 1 Tbsp unsalted butter, about 1/4 shot half n half or cream, 1/2 shot of rum raisins, little shredded orange rind. - Click photo for larger image -https://allsparkledup.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/2-rum-raisin-scone.jpg2 Rum Raisin SconeHalf a shot of raisins soaking in rum overnight2013-07-20T23:31:15+00:00monthlyhttps://allsparkledup.com/2012/01/21/orange-date-scones-recipe/https://allsparkledup.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/orange-date-scones-2294s.jpgOrange Date Scones Orange Date Sconeshttps://allsparkledup.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/orange-date-scones-2286s.jpgOrange Date Scones - cutting the dough into wedgesOrange Date Scones - cutting the dough into wedges2013-07-20T23:28:54+00:00monthlyhttps://allsparkledup.com/2011/12/17/sugary-gingerbread-houses/https://allsparkledup.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/4-chloe-gingerbread-2011.jpgChloe decorates a gingerbread houseChloe decorates a gingerbread househttps://allsparkledup.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/gingerbreadhouses.jpgGingerbread Village Gingerbread Village2013-07-20T23:26:46+00:00monthlyhttps://allsparkledup.com/2011/12/20/christmas-cookie-trays/https://allsparkledup.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/cookie-tray-2011-1424.jpgCookie Tray 20112013-07-20T23:25:38+00:00monthlyhttps://allsparkledup.com/2013/07/18/diy-decorative-wrought-iron-design-paper/https://allsparkledup.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/wroughtiron-paper-4.jpgWroughtIron Paper-4The wrought iron design on the bottom side of each sheet has a beautiful creamy color and delightful shading.https://allsparkledup.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/wroughtiron-paper-3.jpgWroughtIron Paper-3The table is covered with wet paper.

The riper fig had a slightly larger pink, seeded center. The seeded area should take up more of the fruit but this year the figs are dropping if left much longer on the tree. They still taste amazing. https://allsparkledup.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/figs-2013-16.jpgFigs 2013-16Here is a riper fig, with a darker brown skin next to the golden yellow skinned fig from the same tree for comparison.https://allsparkledup.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/figs-2013-15.jpgFigs 2013-15We weren't sure if the figs were ripe or overripe. This was one of the yellower figs. I thought so much white pith might mean the fig wasn't ripe. It still tasted delicious and juicy and sweet.https://allsparkledup.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/figs-2013-14.jpgFigs 2013-14I remember our first harvest several years ago yielded just one tiny fig that didn't even fit in a spoon. Look at the size of these. Luscious!https://allsparkledup.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/figs-2013-13.jpgFigs 2013-13This warm-from-the-tree fig fits my palm!https://allsparkledup.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/figs-2013-12.jpgFigs 2013-12https://allsparkledup.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/figs-2013-11.jpgFigs 2013-11https://allsparkledup.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/figs-2013-10.jpgFigs 2013-10https://allsparkledup.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/figs-2013-9.jpgFigs 2013-9https://allsparkledup.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/figs-2013-81.jpgFigs 2013-82014-06-24T16:51:18+00:00monthlyhttps://allsparkledup.com/2012/10/23/three-weeks-post-op-scoliosis-surgery/https://allsparkledup.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/paris-eiffel-vintage-image-graphicsfairy006c.jpgparis eiffel vintage Image GraphicsFairy006cVintage Eiffel Tower postcard - graphic by The Graphics Fairy - http://graphicsfairy.blogspot.com/2011/12/vintage-graphic-gorgeous-colorful.html. https://allsparkledup.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/scoliosis-surgery.jpgScoliosis SurgeryMy Scoliosis surgery - 29 bolts and rods from neck to pelvis.2013-07-12T03:27:21+00:00monthlyhttps://allsparkledup.com/2013/07/08/finished-the-leaf-and-stone-necklace/https://allsparkledup.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/leaf-and-stone-necklace-6.jpgLeaf and Stone Necklace 6https://allsparkledup.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/leaf-and-stone-necklace-5.jpgLeaf and Stone Necklace 5https://allsparkledup.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/leaf-and-stone-necklace-4.jpgLeaf and Stone Necklace 4Leaf and Stone Necklace2013-07-20T12:28:46+00:00monthlyhttps://allsparkledup.com/2013/07/04/4th-of-july-2013/https://allsparkledup.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/yolo.jpgYOLOYOLO2013-07-05T03:57:31+00:00monthlyhttps://allsparkledup.com/2013/07/02/sunset/https://allsparkledup.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/sunset-2667-2.jpgSunset 2667-2Sunset2013-07-03T03:02:02+00:00monthlyhttps://allsparkledup.com/2013/06/28/my-favorite-broken-mug-my-favorite-pencil-cup/https://allsparkledup.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/4-flower-handle-mug.jpg4 Flower Handle Mughttps://allsparkledup.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/3-flowers-mug.jpg3 Flowers Mughttps://allsparkledup.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/2-broken-handle-mug.jpg2 Broken Handle Mughttps://allsparkledup.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/1-broken-handle-mug.jpg1 Broken Handle Mug2013-07-02T20:31:51+00:00monthlyhttps://allsparkledup.com/2013/06/23/pizza-salad/https://allsparkledup.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/pizza-salad-5.jpgPizza Salad 5Pizza Saladhttps://allsparkledup.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/pizza-salad-4.jpgPizza Salad 4Warm piece of homemade Spinach Mushroom Onion pizza, cut into 3/4" squares.https://allsparkledup.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/pizza-salad-3.jpgPizza Salad 3https://allsparkledup.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/pizza-salad-2.jpgPizza Salad 2The basil was chopped a bit first and then the tomatoes were sliced right on top of the basil.https://allsparkledup.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/pizza-salad-1.jpgPizza Salad 1Spinach Salad Ingredients: leftover Spinach Mushroom Pizza, grape tomatoes, celery sticks, carrots, spinach, Thai basil and Lime basil leaves.2014-06-24T16:54:32+00:00monthlyhttps://allsparkledup.com/2013/06/15/the-crown-journal/https://allsparkledup.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/crown-journal-15.jpgCrown Journal-15The Crown Journal.https://allsparkledup.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/crown-journal-14.jpgCrown Journal-14https://allsparkledup.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/crown-journal-13.jpgCrown Journal-13One of the ribbons at the spine is used as a bookmark.https://allsparkledup.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/crown-journal-12.jpgCrown Journal-12https://allsparkledup.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/crown-journal-11.jpgCrown Journal-11https://allsparkledup.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/crown-journal-10.jpgCrown Journal-10https://allsparkledup.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/crown-journal-9b.jpgCrown Journal-9bhttps://allsparkledup.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/crown-journal-9a.jpgCrown Journal-9ahttps://allsparkledup.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/crown-journal-8c.jpgCrown Journal-8chttps://allsparkledup.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/crown-journal-8b.jpgCrown Journal-8b2014-06-24T16:59:42+00:00monthlyhttps://allsparkledup.com/2013/05/15/the-roses-have-bloomed/https://allsparkledup.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/roses-2013.jpgRoses 2013The bright pink roses are Zepherine, the pale pink is Sceptre'd Isle and the barely pink is Blush Noisette.
