Spray 12 muffin cups with vegetable cooking spray or line with paper liners. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Grate the zest of the orange and juice it. Add enough milk to the orange juice to measure 1 cup plus 2 tb and pour it into a second bowl. Add the butter, egg, vanilla, and baking soda and whisk until blended. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and combine with as few strokes as possible. Fold in the orange zest and pecans. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each one 1/2 to 2/3 full. Bake until golden and fragrant, 15-20 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the orange glaze: In a small pan, bring the orange zest and juice and sugar to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Turn down the heat and let simmer until thickened, 4-5 minutes. Let cool slightly. The glaze should be liquidy so that it soaks into the muffins. Let muffins cool 2-3 minutes, then brush the tops with the warm glaze, or drip it over them with a spoon. Serve warm. Sticky and good — real good!

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude to me is more important than facts…. We cannot change our past…we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10 percent what happens to me and 90 percent how I react to it. And so it is with you… we are in charge of our attitudes. — Charles R. Swindoll

Yield: about 9 medium glass jars
3 cups prepared tomatoes (about
2 1/4 pounds ripe tomatoes
1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon rind
1/4 cup lemon juice (2 lemons)
6 1/2 cups (2 pounds 14 ounces) granulated sugar
1 bottle pectin "Certo" (I think thats the 2 packages
that come in the box nowadays, check with Certo if unsure)
First prepare tomatoes. Scald, peel, chop the fully ripe tomatoes. Bring to a boil and simmer 10 minutes.
Measure 3 cups of that into a large saucepan. Add the lemon rind and juice to the tomatoes. Add the exact measure of sugar and mix well. Bring to a full rolling boil and boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add pectin. Skim off foam with metal spoon. Then stir and skim for 5 minutes to cool slightly and prevent floating "fruit."
Ladle into glass jars and you can use 1/8 inch of melted paraffin on top or use sealing lids.
