2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt 2 tbsp granulated white sugar

1 tablespoon grated orange zest

2/3 c freshly squeezed orange juice

Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line 8 muffin tins with paper cupcake/muffin liners. In a large bowl, combine the Cara Cara Orange Ginger Marmalade, grated orange zest, orange juice, vanilla extract, butter flavoring, melted 1/2 cup of butter, and the beaten eggs together using a rubber spatula.

Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar into a separate bowl, then whisk them all together. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients just until it's all combined and the flour is no longer apparent

Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling the paper cups all the way to the top. In a small bowl, combine the remaining melted tablespoon of butter with the brown sugar and nutmeg. Lightly sprinkle the tops of the muffins with this mixture before baking the muffins at 425°F for 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to 375°F, without opening the oven door, and continue letting the muffins bake for another 15 minutes.

Insert a toothpick in the center to test for readiness; the toothpick should come out clean. Let the muffins rest in their pan for about 10 minutes before removing and serving.

Recipe from Martha Stewart

Ingredients:

12 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature

1-1⁄4 cups confectioners’ sugar

2-1⁄2 cups cold heavy cream

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

1⁄4 teaspoon grated lemon zest

Seeds scraped from 1 vanilla bean

1 Jar Monkeypod Jam Orange Chocolate Sauce

1-pint fresh raspberries

Preparation:

Place the cream cheese and confectioners’ sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on high speed for 2 minutes. Scrape down the beater and bowl with a rubber spatula and change the beater for the whisk attachment. With the mixer on low speed, add the heavy cream, vanilla, lemon zest, and vanilla seeds and beat on high speed until the mixture is very thick, like whipped cream.

Line a heart-shaped mold with cheesecloth so the ends drape over the sides and place it on a plate, making sure that there is space between the bottom of the mold and the plate for the liquid to drain. Pour the cream mixture into the cheesecloth, fold the ends over the top, and refrigerate overnight.

To serve, discard the liquid, unmold the cream onto a plate, and drizzle Monkeypod Jam Orange Chocolate Sauce  on the top.

Serve with raspberries and extra sauce.

Recipe from Barefoot Contessa

Dilly Beans and a bit of the warm brine on each plate. Set salmon on top of Dilly Beans, mayonnaise side up.

Ingredients:

½ cup milk (125 ml)

½ cup water (125 ml)

8 tbsp unsalted butter (113g)

½ tsp salt

1 cup bread flour (150g)

4 large eggs (about 1 cup)

Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp milk)

4oz Goat cheese

1 jar Monkeypod Jam Lemon Sage Marmalade

Preparation:

Arrange the baking rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat the oven to 375^oF.

Combine the milk, water, butter, and salt in a medium size pan and set over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and immediately take the pan off the heat. Add the flour and beat the mixture with a wooden spoon until smooth.

Return the pan to medium heat for about 1 minute, stirring constantly, to dry out the paste. Put the paste into a bowl and let cool for a few minutes.

Add the eggs to a measuring cup and beat until mixed. Add a little bit of the eggs, beating with the wooden spoon. Once all the eggs are incorporated into the mixture, it should be smooth and shiny, and thick enough to pipe.

The choux paste is now ready to use. If you are not using it immediately put plastic wrap directly on the dough.

Pipe the dough into the desired shape onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Brush with egg wash. Bake at 375^oF until dry and crisp, but soft inside, depending on the shape Between 15 to 30 min. Cool on a wire rack. 

Once cool, cut the choux in half, fill the bottom part with goat cheese and Monkeypod Jam Lemon Sage Marmalade then put the top back on.
