Marmalade Bar Recipes

MARMALADE BAR

Steps:

• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Line a 900g/ 2lb loaf tin with greaseproof paper. Place the flour, mixed spice, caster sugar, zests, dried fruit and a pinch of salt into a large bowl.
• Melt the butter and 2 tbsp marmalade in a saucepan, then stir in the milk. Pour liquid into the dry ingredients, add the white wine vinegar and mix well.
• Pour the cake mixture into the lined loaf tin and bake for 1 hr, or until an inserted skewer comes out clean.
• Meanwhile, make the glaze by heating the remaining marmalade with 2 tbsp water and the icing sugar until bubbling and syrupy. When the cake is cooked remove it from the oven, pour over the marmalade glaze, then sprinkle with demerara sugar. Leave to coolin the tin.

OATMEAL BREAKFAST BARS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the oats, brown sugar and salt. Stir in remaining ingredients. Press into a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Bake at 425° for 15-17 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.

ORANGE MARMALADE GRANOLA BARS

Steps:

• Line a 12" x 17" pan with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients except egg whites and white sugar.
• In a separate bowl, beat egg whites while slowly adding sugar until foamy white. Combine egg white mixture with other ingredients and stir until thoroughly mixed.
• Pour granola batter onto pan and spread evenly.
• Place in oven for 20-25 minutes or until browned. After baking, allow to cool for at least 45 minutes before cutting. Cut into 20 rectangular bars.

ORANGE MARMALADE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F Grease a cookie sheet (I just use parchment paper).
• In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Add the egg and orange marmalade and mix until thoroughly combined. Add additional marmalade if the batter is too stiff.
• In another bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder. With the mixer running, slowly add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture until blended.
• Drop by spoonfuls on the cookie sheet; do not crowd the cookies as the batter will spread during baking. Bake until the cookies spread out and are lightly browned, 8-10 minutes.
• Cool a minute or two on the cookie sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
• *The original yield was 40 cookies, but I must have made them a little large, because I only ended up with 22.
