Sour Cherry Citrus Muffins image

From a Canadian Living Muffins and Cookies book. The original recipe was for blueberries and suggested sweet cherries as a possible substitution. I found it much more interesting with sour cherries - and there's plenty of brown sugar in here to compensate for the tartness of the cherries.
