CRANBERRY-ORANGE MUFFINS



Cranberry-Orange Muffins image

These cranberry-orange muffins are not overly sweet, and big on flavor. Lots of tart cranberries and sweet orange juice/zest kick the flavor up. Best when made with fresh cranberries, fresh orange juice, and lots of pulp! My family loves them without the glaze, but some of my sweet-toothed friends prefer it with, as the muffins are only slightly sweet on their own.

This is my daughter's favorite muffin recipe. I am about to whip up some for her now. I kind of like them myself and the fact that I can use the orange marmalade instead of orange zest.
