Mandarin Orange Muffins

2 can mandarin orange sections 1/2 tsp nutmeg 1 tsp salt 1/4 tsp clove 1 tsp cinnamon 2 eggs 1 cup sugar or substitute (I used 1/2 and 1/2) Blend lightly or you will lose the shape of oranges. Add to: 3 cups flour 2 1/2 tsp baking powder 2/3 cup vegetable oil 2/3 cup milk Mix well. these are dense muffins that rise pretty well. With some leftover jello and fruit cocktail that I heated on the stove, I pureed the mixture and dipped the muffins into it for a jellee coating. (How iron chef is that?) LOLOL "Bon Appetit!"
