8 slices French bread, cut into 1/2-inch slices
3 eggs
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons finely grated orange zest (orange part of the peel)
2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar
Butter
Country Orange Marmalade
In a 9x13-inch pan, place bread slices in one layer. Beat together eggs, milk, zest and cinnamon sugar until blended. Pour egg mixture evenly over the bread. Allow bread to soak up egg, turning now and again until evenly moistened.
In a buttered skillet, sauté bread slices until golden brown on both sides. (French toast can be baked in the oven for a slightly different effect. After the eggs are nicely soaked up, place pan in a 350° oven and bake until bread is golden and puffed.)
Serve with Orange Country Marmalade or your favorite syrup. Serves 4.

1 cup orange marmalade
2 tablespoons lemon juice
4 tablespoons chopped walnuts
3 tablespoons yellow raisins
2 tablespoons chopped Maraschino cherries
In a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine all the ingredients and stir until blended. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use. Yields 1 1/2 cups.
