• 1  teaspoon  fresh lemon juice
• 1  teaspoon  honey
• 2  cups  fresh orange sections (about 2 oranges)
• 
  Waffles:
• 3/4  cup  all-purpose flour (about 3 3/4 ounces)
• 3/4  cup  whole wheat flour (about 3 1/2 ounces)
• 1/2  cup  packed brown sugar
• 1/4  cup  toasted wheat germ
• 1 1/4  teaspoons  baking powder
• 1  teaspoon  baking soda
• 1/4  teaspoon  salt
• 1/4  teaspoon  nutmeg
• 1 1/3  cups  buttermilk
• 1/3  cup  water
• 2  tablespoons  canola oil
• 1  teaspoon  grated orange rind
• 1  large egg, lightly beaten

Preparation

To prepare compote, place marmalade, orange juice, lemon juice, and honey in a small saucepan over medium-low heat; cook 2 minutes or until the marmalade melts. Reduce heat, and gently stir in the orange sections; keep warm.

To prepare waffles, lightly spoon flours into dry measuring cups, and level with a knife. Combine flours and the next 6 ingredients (through nutmeg) in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Combine buttermilk, 1/3 cup water, canola oil, orange rind, and egg in a small bowl. Add milk mixture to flour mixture, stirring just until moist. Coat a waffle iron with cooking spray; preheat. Spoon about 1/3 cup batter per 4-inch waffle onto hot waffle iron, spreading batter to edges. Cook for 5 minutes or until steaming stops, and repeat procedure with remaining batter. Sift powdered sugar over tops of waffles. Serve with orange compote.
