Orange Marmalade Muffins with Cream Cheese Glaze

These homemade zesty orange marmalade muffins are moist, fragrant and will tantalize your taste buds fresh out of the oven, or add a cream cheese glaze for a delightful twist. 

Sometimes we know what we want to do early and sometimes, that path doesn’t open up to us until we’ve entered our forties.

The latter is true of Patrick Properties Hospitality Group executive pastry chef Jessica Grossman.

She got her culinary arts degree at the Art Institute of Charleston sometime in her fourth decade and hasn’t looked back.

While she loves to make soups, she’s also quite the baker.

From elaborate wedding cakes, bread, and these homemade zesty orange marmalade muffins, Jessica Grossman knows food.

While my mornings are filled with simple pleasures, like waking up to fresh coffee, sometimes, I take it out on the patio and look at the beautiful view as I sip. 

Adding these luxuriously delicious orange marmalade muffins to the day can elevate the simplicity of bringing the family together.

At Patrick Properties’ four historic venues in Charleston, Grossman creates a wide array of specialty desserts and is a favorite of brides for her intricate wedding cake designs.

Among other accolades, her confections have graced the cover of Charleston magazine’s food and wine issue and were featured in Charleston Weddings. 

I love jams and jellies and orange marmalade is one of my favorites.

This Instant Pot Orange Marmalade recipe offers a delicious preserve in about an hour and it’s perfect for this muffin recipe.
