ORANGE BLOSSOMS
This recipe started out as the Lemon Blossoms from "Paula Deen & Friends" cookbook. I didn't have the lemon or lemon pudding called for so I improvised. A word of warning - do not try this with a hand mixer. The dough is unbelievably stiff and I nearly burned out the motor on mine. The finished cupcakes are light as a feather though. I was truly amazed that such a thick batter would bake up so light.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray miniature muffin tins with cooking spray.
- Combine the cake mix, pudding mix, eggs and oil and blend with a stand mixer for about 2 minutes or until smooth.
- Pour about a tablespoon of batter into each spot in the muffin tin. I used a mini ice cream scoop about the size of a melon baller.
- Bake for about 12 minutes. Remove from pan immediately and set aside to cool slightly.
- Sift the confectioner's sugar into a mixing bowl. Add the water, oil and vanilla and mix until smooth.
- Dip the warm cupcakes into the glaze and place them on a wire rack with waxed paper underneath to cool and for the glaze to set. This could take a while especially if it's humid.
- When the glaze has set completely the cupcakes can be stored in an airtight container until it's time to serve them.

Tips:
- Select the right oranges: Choose firm, heavy oranges with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid oranges with bruises or soft spots.
- Zest the oranges before juicing: The zest contains flavorful oils that will add depth to your recipes. Use a microplane grater or zester to remove the zest from the oranges in long, thin strips.
- Use fresh orange juice: Freshly squeezed orange juice is the best way to get the most flavor and nutrients from your oranges. If you don't have fresh oranges, you can use store-bought orange juice, but make sure it's 100% juice and not from concentrate.
- Don't overcook the oranges: Oranges are a delicate fruit, so it's important not to overcook them. This will make them tough and bitter.
- Pair oranges with other complementary flavors: Oranges go well with a variety of other flavors, such as chocolate, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Experiment with different combinations to find your favorite pairings.
Conclusion:
Oranges are a versatile fruit that can be used in a variety of recipes, from sweet to savory. With their bright flavor and abundance of nutrients, oranges are a great addition to any diet. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious way to add some citrus to your meal, reach for an orange.
