These were very tasty. Just a subtle hint of the marmalade in each bite. I used 1/2 cup brown sugar and no white. I used 1/3 cup canola oil instead of butter. I didn't chop the cranberries. They were thawed out too. I made 6 Texas sized muffins.

<p><span style="color: #993366;">I credit my mother and aunt for my love of cooking--Mom for her creativity and my aunt for putting the apron on me and letting me go. I enjoy baking most of all and when I get time, that's what I do for fun. There's never a shortage of takers! During the holidays I am a maniac for baking cookies and every year around late October, I start prowling for new creative, different ideas.</span></p>
