    Host a country-style weekend breakfast with these sweet-tart muffins. A few years ago we had a harsh winter and I didn't want to run to the grocery store for the Orange Marmalade. Everything was covered in 4 inches of ice because it warmed up and rained. Turning the snow into instant ice. I found the remaining jar of my Oriental Rhubarb Jam. Used it and the muffins turned out fabulous! I omitted the allspice, clove and nutmeg as the jam has a spicy ginger flavor.

    Ingredients

    • 2 1/4 Cups All Purpose Flour
    • 1/4 Cup Granulated Sugar
    • 1/4 Cup Firmly Packed Light Brown Sugar
    • 2 1/2 Tsp. Baking Powder
    • 1/2 Tsp. Baking Soda
    • 1/2 Tsp. Salt
    • 1/4 Tsp. Ground Allspice
    • 1/4 Tsp. Ground Clove
    • 1/8 Tsp. Ground Nutmeg
    • 1 Cup Buttermilk (See Tip)
    • 1/2 Cup Orange Marmalade
    • 1/2 Cup Butter, Melted And Cooled
    • 1 Large Egg
    • 1 Cup Fresh Or Frozen Cranberries
    • 1/2 Cup Pecans, Toasted And Chopped

    Directions

    1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease 12 standard size muffin pan cups or line with paper liners.
    2. Mix together flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, allspice, cloves, and nutmeg.
    3. Mix together buttermilk, orange marmalade, melted butter and egg.
    4. Make a well in the center of flour mixture. Add buttermilk mixture all at once to well, tossing with a fork until dry ingredients are just moistened. Stir in cranberries and nuts.
    5. Spoon batter into prepared pan, filling cups three-quarters full.
    6. Bake muffins until tops are firm and golden, 25 minutes. Transfer pan to wire rack to cool slightly, 8 minutes. Turn muffins out onto rack to cool completely.
    7. Tip: Equal parts of plain yogurt can be substituted for the buttermilk. To enhance the orange flavor, serve these with orange marmalade.
