This recipe I found in a very old missionary cookbook from Greenwood Hills camp. These recipes I usually find are full of ingredients that are very basic and things you probably have on hand. Most of the missionaries that I know never had a Super-Walmart near buy to run out and buy extras, so the ingredients are basic.

I made this recipe not knowing what this would taste like by blending an entire orange skin and all….but let me tell you, this was outstanding and delicious.

Enjoy!!

• 1 orange (washed, cut in four and take the seeds out)
• ½ cup of orange juice
• ½ cup of chopped dates, raisins or cranberries (my favorite are the dried cranberries)
• ½ cup of butter (softened)
• 1 egg
• 1 ½ cups of flour
• ¾ cups of sugar
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt

1. Quarter the orange and cut in half
2. Place orange, egg , orange juice and butter in a blender and chop and blend together rind and all
3. Mix in a separate bowl remaining ingredients
4. Mix all ingredients together and you will find the batter is very lumpy
5. Stir in fruit or nuts of your choice
6. Place in a greased muffin tin and bake at 350 for 20 minutes
7. Let then cool for a bit and they taste oh so good!!!
