CHERRY-NUT MUFFIN MIX
Our home economists liked these fruit-and-nut muffins from Marianne Clarke of Crystal Lake, Illinois so much, they modified the recipe to layer the dry ingredients in a jar.

Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe cherries for the best flavor. Frozen cherries can also be used, but thaw them completely before using.
- Be sure to pit the cherries before adding them to the batter. You can use a cherry pitter or a small knife to do this.
- For a sweeter muffin, add an extra 1/4 cup of sugar to the batter.
- For a more tart muffin, use sour cherries instead of sweet cherries.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- To make sure the muffins are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean, the muffins are done.
- Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. They can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
