Not sure how long do scones last? If you have any of your fresh scones, we recommend storing in the fridge. It will help preserve the fruit longer.

But, you can store the scones on the counter as well. They will last 1-2 days on counter or 3-5 days in the fridge.

Kitchen notes

You can use canned peaches, fresh or frozen. Make sure to use cold butter, this is important for the dough. We use a cheese grater to shave the butter, it works great. Avoid using your hands when mixing the dough, it will melt the butter. Only use your hands to shape the dough into a circle. All ovens heat differently so make sure to watch the cook time. Scones will dry out if you overbake it. You can skip the crumb topping and do a scone glaze you drizzle on top instead if you would like.
