Orange bourbon marmalade with whole grain muffins

Bread and marmalade are little guilty pleasures of everyday life. Things that worth making in your stove, enjoying the aromas and the flavors.

I love waking up in the morning a couple of minutes earlier just to make a sumptuous breakfast, the kind of breakfast that you would eat during a vacation to a lost European village, the kind of breakfast that will transform any day into the best day, the kind of breakfast that would gather family and friends around a table to enjoy a experience that only handmade food can give.

Golden toasted whole grain muffins are the perfect complement to a strong, citric, sweet orange marmalade. Having breakfast would never be the same.

  • 1 1/2 Cup peeled and diced orange

  • 1/4 Cup orange juice
  • 1/4 Cup of bourbon
  • 1/2 Cup fructose

Instructions

    For the orange bourbon marmalade
  1. In a non reactive pot mix the oranges with the water and let it simmer over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes.
  2. Remove from heat, throw away the water and let the oranges cool down.
  3. Put the oranges in a food processor and pulse for 30 seconds. I like my marmalade with chunks, but if you want it finer just keep pulsing.
  4. In a non reactive pot mix the oranges, with the orange juice, the bourbon and the fructose, mixing well.
  5. Bring the mixtureto a boil and continue boiling in low heat for 15 to 20 minutes or until it reaches 220 degrees.
  6. Remove from heat and let it cool.
  7. For the whole grain muffins
  8. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  9. In a bowl mix all the ingredients. Mix well until you have a soft paste that doesn´t stick. (If it´s to hard add some more water and olive oil, if too soft just add more flour)
  10. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
  11. Roll the dough to form a log and cut slices of 2 inches wide.
  12. Place the slices in a baking sheet and into oven.
  13. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
  14. Serve toasted
