Chunky Muffins

Cherry Muffins

(i made another batch of muffins, this time using cherries of various forms!)

A variation on my previous muffin recipe, I added some dried cherries to this. Also, I used cherry preserves, plus three tablespoons of cherry liqueur.

No, it did not have that cough-syrup taste! I know a lot of people associate cherry flavor with the kiddie meds we hated while we were growing up. Dried cherries taste much like raisins – just a bit tart and a less sweet. Also, with a much more fruity flavor.

(the cherry preserves i used was really chunky.)


(dried cherries can be mistaken for giant raisins, but the flavor is definitely much more sophisticated!)

(you can use any cherry liqueur you like. i got my cherry brandy from a shop at Rothenburg ob de Tauber in Germany. but there are many local brands out there.)

(dried fruit adds texture to this recipe!)
