Summer has the freshest most delicious ripe cherries available and these are a favorite must-make on the weekends as a family treat.

Bing cherries are sweet and juicy, the hardest part of the recipe is removing the pits.

The ready is very easy to make and you'll get around 20 nice-sized muffins. We do like to add a thin glaze on top but that is optional.

Great to take along for a family picnic or even a dessert for that backyard BBQ.

Friends and family will ask for the recipe so be sure to copy this one down.
