Notes

This recipe was taken from: Weight Watchers Five-Ingredient 15-Minute Recipes Winter 2015 p.32

This recipe calls for low-sugar orange marmalade, but I was never able to find any so I used the regular version. If you can find the low-sugar version, then it is 7 Points Plus (or 8 Smart Points) for a serving. You can also add 1/4 teaspoon of dried thyme. Add the thyme when you add the marmalade.
