Yes, these are very obviously not cranberry. Truth is I don't like cranberries. Plus, blueberries were on sale. This just goes to show that you can swap out the berries pretty easily for whatever happens to be in season.

| Mix dry ingredients. Then cut in the butter. |
 |
| Add the wet ingredients. |
 |
| I waited until I split the dough to add the berries. |
 |
| Flatten and cut into six triangles. |
 |
| Glaze with buttermilk and sugar. |

| Break apart after baking. |
If made to recipe and split into 12 servings, this recipe is 4 PointsPlus. I found the serving size to be satisfying, so I did not change it. As I mentioned previously, you can easily substitute the berries for equal measurement of berries or fruit (apple-cinnamon anyone?).
Though this recipe has a lot of sugar, I would not reduce it. It has a very wheat-y flavor and the sugar helps balance it out. The texture is thicker than I tend to prefer scones. Overall, this is a delicious breakfast item that you can pair with some whole fruit or a fruit salad. I'd definitely make it again.
