Method
Ok, found some use for these muffins and they actually taste really good. Unfortunately most sank to the middle or the bottom of the cake.

Preheat oven to 375 F. Butter your muffin tins

In a bowl pour the boiling water over the cherries. Let stand for 5 minutes.

In another bowl stir and toss together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set asside.

To the cherries and water add the sugar, butter, eggs, lemon zest and almond extract. Add the combined dry ingredients and stir until blended.

Spoon in yhour muffin tins and bake for about 20 minutes. Enjoy!
