Directions:
To make muffins, preheat the oven to 400 degrees and butter small muffin tins.
With an electric mixer, cream the sugar and butter until smooth. Add the eggs and beat until fluffy.
Add the baking soda to the buttermilk.
Sift the flour and salt together and add to the sugar—butter mixture alternately with the buttermilk. Stir until well mixed.
In food processor grind the raisins and orange zest. Add to the batter and combine.
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tins and bake until golden brown and firm to the touch, about 12 minutes. Remove the tins to a baking rack and set close together. Brush the tops of the muffins with orange juice and sprinkle with 1/2 cup sugar while still warm. After 5 minutes turn out from pans. Let cool completely before cutting each muffin in half.
Cut the meat into small pieces and put a small amount on each muffin bottom. Top the meat with 1/2 teaspoon jelly, etc. Cover with muffin top and serve.

Personal Notes:
I made this for the Candlelighter reception at Brown's Art Gallery when artists came and signed their work in the calendars. This is where I met Emmett Thames, and he helped me in the kitchen until the reception started.
