Mincemeat Blender Muffins

December 26, 2016 by Barb 8 Comments

Here’s an amazing way to use leftover mincemeat you may have purchased for pies for the holidays. This is an old recipe of my Mom’s, and a bit of anĀ unusual one at that. The whole orange and peel are thrown in … sounds kind of weird, but I can tell you that these muffins are pretty scrumptious.

After a good whirring in the blender, the orange and the mincemeat virtually disappear – and you are left with an aromatic, slightly spicy, moist muffin. Definitely worth a try!

Keeping With the TimesAren’t these little measuring cups just the sweetest? My oldest daughter gave them to me years ago (from Pier One). They make being organized quite a bit more fun!

Orange Mincemeat Blender Muffins

January 12, 2014 by Barb 7 Comments

Amazingly we are already heading into the middle of January! and how did that happen?

I don’t know about you, but I had the tree down and out the door on January 1st. I’ve since packed all the decorations away and cleaned the house from top to bottom.

Today I bravely peeked into the back of the refrigerator to see what was left behind in the rush, and came up with some oranges and a jar of mincemeat. An old recipe that my Mom used to make came to mind. It’s unusual in that the whole orange, peel and all is used. Sounds kind of weird, but I can tell you that these muffins are pretty scrumptious. After a good whirring in the blender the orange and the mincemeat virtually disappear – and you are left with an aromatic, slightly spicy, moist muffin. Definitely worth a try!
