1 whole orange, ends cut off, sliced
1/4 c. orange juice
1/2 lemon, sliced
3 eggs, slightly beaten
3/4 c. oil
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. almond extract
3/4 c. buttermilk (skim may be substituted)
1 c. sugar
3 2/3 c. flour
2 tbsp. poppy seeds
1 tsp. baking soda
3/4 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. salt

Cut ends off orange and slice. Seeds need not be removed. Slice lemon. Put orange, orange juice and lemon in blender. Don't peel either orange or lemon; puree. Combine eggs, oil, vanilla, almond extract, puree and buttermilk; mix until smooth.

Add sugar, flour, poppy seeds, soda, baking powder and salt. Mix until just smooth. Fill greased muffin tins and bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 23 minutes.
