Time 35m

Yield 12 large muffins

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges (a 15-oz can works as well)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup shortening
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/3 cup milk
1/4 cup melted butter
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F Place muffin papers in muffin tins or spray tins with vegetable oil.
  • Drain oranges and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.
  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, allspice, and sugar. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Whisk together egg and milk. Pour into flour mixture and stir with a fork just until combined. Do not overmix. Batter will be thick. (If your batter is crumbly, you may add a SMALL splash of milk). Carefully fold in mandarin oranges.
  • Fill muffin tins 3/4 full. Bake 20 to 25 minutes until center tests done and muffins are lightly golden.
  • While muffins are baking, place melted butter in a small bowl. In another small bowl, whisk together sugar and cinnamon.
  • When muffins are done, dip each hot muffin first into the butter and then into the cinnamon sugar. Let cool.

1/2 cup orange marmalade
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoon shallot, finely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder
12 ounces pork tenderloin (1 tenderloin)
3/4 lb sugar snap pea, trimmed
1 1/2 teaspoons safflower oil
1 1/2 teaspoons rice vinegar
1/4 teaspoon fresh ginger, peeled and grated
1/4 teaspoon salt
fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Spray the grill rack with nonstick spray; prepare the grill.
  • PREPARE GLAZE:.
  • In a small saucepan, bring the marmalade, lime juice, and shallot to a boil. Boil 2 minutes. Allow to cool, then transfer half of the glaze to a small bowl.
  • PREPARE RUB:.
  • In a small bowl, blend the chili powder, sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the Chinese five-spice powder.
  • PREPARE PORK:.
  • Rub the rub all over the pork.
  • Grill 5 inches from the heat, turning and brushing with half of the glaze, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of the pork reaches 160°F, 20-25 minutes.
  • PREPARE SUGAR-SNAP PEAS:.
  • In a saucepan of boiling water, cook the sugar-snaps until crisp-tender.
  • Rinse under cold water and drain.
  • Toss the sugar-snap peas with the oil, vinegar, ginger, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and the pepper. (Be sure to add the vinegar to the sugar-snap peas just before serving, or the veggie's color will dull.).
  • ASSEMBLE FOR SERVING:.
  • Gently warm the remaining glaze over low heat.
  • Slice the tenderloin, drizzle with the glaze, and serve with the sugar-snap peas.

ORANGE SUGAR GLAZE



Orange Sugar Glaze image

I discovered this powdered sugar glaze when I ran out of milk one day and needed to whip up a glaze for my bundt cake. It goes great with chocolate bundt cakes or orange bundt cakes even just as a great glaze on sugar cookies if you're looking for that little something different. It also went great with Evie*'s recipe Recipe #11712 here on Zaar. Thanks for a perfect compliment to my icing Evie*!
