 Here is a scratch muffin recipe that is as good as
 homemade blueberry muffins.

 Yield: 24 muffins

 Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a
 large mixing bowl. In another bowl, combine the eggs,
 milk, almond extract, and vegetable oil blending well.
 Add to the dry ingredients and mix only to blend, if
 using an elelctric mixer, use low speed, about 30
 seconds. Batter will still be lumpy.  Gently fold in
 the drained cherries and chopped nuts. Spoon into well
 greased muffin tins filling each about 2/3 full,
 handling the batter as little as possible. Bake at 400
 degrees F. for 25 minutes or until done.
