Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line 3 half sheet pans with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, ground almonds, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut the butter into the flour mixture with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles small peas. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, orange juice and zest, vanilla extract and Fiori Di Sicilia. With a rubber spatula stir into the flour mixture. Stir in the dried cranberries. Stir the dough in the bowl just until it comes together. The dough will be very soft and sticky. Turn the dough out on a lightly floured surface and knead just a few times into a ball. Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. With floured hands, gently pat each piece into a ball and then flatten into a 4"-5" round disk. Wrap each in plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight. Remove the dough disks from the refrigerator. Cut and bake immediately. On a lightly floured surface, cut each disk into 6 wedges. Use a sharp floured knife. Brush each scone with heavy cream. Combine the vanilla sugar and ground almonds in a shallow bowl. Dip the tops of each scone into the mixture and then arrange evenly on the baking sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until well risen and golden brown. Remove and cool.
