I live in the heart of citrus country and think this cookie really captures that area's flavor. Orange marmalade, juice and peel give the cookie and frosting a delightful tropical taste. -Shirleene Wilkins, Lake Placid, Florida

CRANBERRY CHEWS



Cranberry Chews image

From "The Joy Of Cookies" by Sharon Tyler Herbst. This recipe uses cranberry sauce instead of fresh, frozen, or dried cranberries, which I happen to think is pretty nice. And it even has orange marmalade, too. I'd really like to try this around Thanksgiving. Passive time includes the cooling period for the base. Prep time is a guess. ***Due to suggestions from 2 reviewers, I have changed the recipe to reserve only 1 c of crumb mixture for the topping (it previously asked for 1 1/2 c crumb mixture).***

ABSOLUTELY FAIL-PROOF EASY MARMALADE



Absolutely Fail-Proof Easy Marmalade image

This recipe was printed in the Jerusalem Post last week, and it's from Lynette Levius of Netanya, Israel. I haven't tried it yet, but plan to make a batch this weekend. February 2010: Since posting this recipe I've made it several times each winter (winter is citrus seaon here). It's a wonderful recipe, totally fail-proof as the title says. It's great on toast and makes a wonderful gift. I especially love a 50/50 orange/clementine mix, a rich citrus flavor with an intense orange color.
