What a complex combination of flavours! They sound wonderful.

Simona Carini

Hi Alicia. The first time I made them I was worried the combination would not work, but it does.

Sally

Simona, you are intrepid when it comes to flavors--I am in awe of your bold and unusual combinations. These are a 'must try.' I also love your quantities--I often balk at making scones because there are too many and I will end up eating too many (but then again, that's what the freezer is for.) I agree, now that the weather is fine, the pull is out of doors, not inside photographing food!

Johanna GGG

your scones look beautiful - beetroot really adds such gorgeous colour - and I love your flour combination

Simona Carini

Thank you, Sally, for your kind words. The recipe makes a nice-sized batch of scones and freezing some is also a way of avoiding eating too many ;)

Thank you, Johanna. I like mixing flours and in particular adding a bit of whole grains to my baked goods.

Paz

I can't believe I missed this post. I love that it's made with beets. Thanks, too, for the other suggestions to use beets. You know I love them. :)

Elizabeth

I'm always looking for new things to do with beets because I am such a sucker for beet greens and buy beets whenever I see them with greens attached. (We immediately cook the greens and the beets themselves tend to multiply in the fridge.) I would never have thought to put beets in scones! With pistachios and apple too. Very nice.

Simona Carini

Ciao Paz. I am always glad to read you like my suggestions. Red beets are a great ingredient, quite versatile, so it is fun to come up with ways to use them. Plus, they are good for us.

Thank you, Elizabeth. I like beet greens too. I had to chuckle at the image you paint of you refrigerator overflowing with beets ;) Sometimes at the farmers' market, I ask for extra greens: they are from people who ask the farmer to cut off the greens from their bunch of beets. Maybe you've already explored this option, but just in case...
