Dried Cherry Muffins

From the northern woods of Michigan come the most delicious cherries imaginable. In fact, over 75 percent of our nation’s cherries are grown here. Thank goodness they’re now being dried again, as the Indians once did, for they give a most concentrated cherry flavor. We love to sit and snack on them, but buttermilk muffins seem to be the perfect wrapping—served warm, their flavor is at its peak.
