Directions:
In a small mixing bowl pour enough boiling water over dried cherries to cover. Let stand for 5 minutes: drain well. In a large mixing bowl combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add drained cherries and orange peel: toss to coat. Make a well in the center: set aside.
In a small mixing bowl combine egg yolk and sour cream. Add egg mixture all at once to dry mixture. Using a fork, stir until combined(mixture may seem dry)
Turn dough out onto a slightly floured surface. Quickly kneed dough by folding and gently pressing for 10 to 12 strokes or until to dough is nearly smooth. Pat or lightly roll dough into a 7 inch circle. Cut into 12 wedges.
Arrange wedges 1 inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake in a 400º F oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until light brown. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
In a small bowl stir together powdered sugar, orange juice and vanilla. Stir in enough additional orange juice, one teaspoon at a time, to make of drizzling consistency. Drizzle over warm scones. Serve immediately.
