CHEERY CHERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• While cherries are still frozen, cut them into halves, then set aside to thaw and drain in a mesh colander over a bowl.
• Cream butter and sugar using an electric mixer.
• Add eggs, almond extract, and vanilla and beat well.
• Crush 1/2 cup of the thawed cherries with a fork; add the mashed cherries to the batter.
• Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
• Fold half of the flour mixture into the butter mixture using a spatula; do not overmix.
• Add half of the cream or milk, mixing just enough to combine.
• Add remaining flour, then remaining milk; again avoid overmixing.
• Fold in the remaining cherry halves.
• Fill 12 paper-lined muffin tins with batter.
• If desired, you may sprinkle the muffins with some extra sugar.
• Bake in a preheated 375 F oven until golden brown, about 20-30 minutes.

CANDIED CHERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners. Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, cardamom and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk the eggs, milk, 1 1/2 sticks melted butter, the almond paste and vanilla in a large bowl (it?s OK if the almond paste is still a little chunky). Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture and stir until combined. Stir in the candied citrus peel.
• Divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling them three-quarters of the way. Top evenly with the candied cherries. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Let the muffins cool 5 minutes in the pan, then remove to a rack.
• Warm the remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter in the microwave. Brush the muffins with the butter while still warm, then dust with confectioners' sugar. Let cool completely.

Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of chopped pecans in the bottom of each muffin cup. Spoon in 2 teaspoons of batter, then place half a cherry in the center of the batter. Sprinkle a few pieces of chopped pecan on top of each muffin. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the tins and dust the muffins with powdered sugar while hot, so the sugar melts in.

CHERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Get your oven ready to bake by preheating it to 390°F/200°C.
• In a bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. This step ensures that all of the dry ingredients are mixed well and you don't get any pockets of baking powder in your finished muffins.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar with oil, milk, egg, and almond extract. Mix until well combined.
• Add Dry Ingredients to Wet Ones: Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk just until combined. Do not overmix.
• Fold in the cherries. The muffin batter should be thick enough to hold up the fruit, I did that on purpose because we don't want the cherries falling to the bottom of the muffins.
• Divide the batter between 8 lined muffin cups so that each is ¾ of the way filled.
• Bake for 20 minutes or until done.
• Allow the muffins to cool on a wire rack completely before eating or serving.
