Edwards Mansion Orange Muffins Recipe
At the height of citrus production Redlands had 15,000 acres of citrus groves! Due to abundance, the fragrant, tangy fruits made their way into a wide variety of recipes.

Oranges continue to be a symbol of Redlands to this day. Many local restaurants feature orange-themed pastries and recipes. Edwards Mansion continues the legacy years later with a few well-known baked goods featuring oranges from the venue's property.
