Help please:  lost a favorite recipe that was a Pillsbury Bake-off contest winner from the mid '90s.  Ingredients included diced dried tropical fruit pieces and white chocolate chips, drizzled with an orange glaze. I think the winner was a repeat winner from Oregon, a Fran Neavoll (?) I've searched everywhere, including local paper in which it appeared, but recipe archives don't go back that far.  So grateful if anyone can retrieve it!  : )

Here it is - from the 37th PBO book!

ORANGE-GLAZED TROPICAL FRUIT SCONES

SCONES:

2 cups Pillsbury BEST all purpose flour

2 tablespoons sugar

3 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1-1/2 teaspoons grated orange peel

1/4 cup butter or margarine

1/3 cup milk

2 eggs, beaten

1 cup tropical medley dried fruit or dried fruit bits

1/2 cup vanilla milk chips

GLAZE:

1 cup powdered sugar

2 to 3 tablespoons orange juice

SPREAD

1/3 cup apricot-pineapple OR pineapple preserves

Heat oven to 400 degrees F.  Lightly spoon flour into measured  cup; level off.  In large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and orange peel; mix well.  With pastry blender or fork, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.  Add milk and eggs; blend well.  Stir in dried fruit and vanilla milk chips until mixed.

On lightly floured surface, knead dough 6 or 7 times until smooth.  Divide dough in half.  Pat each half into a 6 inch cirecle.  With floured knife, cut each circle into 4 wedges.  Place wedges 2 inches apart on ungrased cookie sheet.

Bake at 400 degrees F for 12 to 16 minutes or until golden brown.  Cool 1 minute.

Meanwhile, in small bowl, combine powdered sugar and enough orange juice for desired drizzling consistency; blend until smooth.  Drizzle mixture over top and sides of each scone.  Cool 5 minutes.  If desired, split each scone and spread with 2 teaspoons preservs, or serve preserves with scones.  Serve warm.
