3/4 teaspoon orange extract
3 drops yellow food coloring, optional

5 teaspoons cornstarch
1/4 cup cold water
blueberries, sliced peaches, strawberries and kiwifruit
Directions:
1. Drain oranges, reserving juice in a 2-cup measuring cup; add enough orange juice to measure 1-3/4 cups. Set aside. Finely chop oranges; drain well and set aside.
2. Prepare cake batter according to package directions; add the orange extract and food coloring if desired with the water. Fold in the chopped oranges. Pour into an ungreased 10-in. tube pan. Bake according to package directions.
