CHERRY MUFFINS WITH STREUSEL TOPPING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin; or line the tin with papers, and grease the papers.
• For Muffins
• In a medium sized bowl whisk the eggs with the milk and vanilla extract.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk the flour with the sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Cut the butter into the flour mixture with a pastry blender or your fingertips. (The mixture should look like coarse crumbs.)
• Remove one cup of the mixture and set aside in a separate bowl to make the streusel topping.
• Gently fold cherries and lemon zest in the remaining muffin batter.
• Add the milk and egg mixture to the flour mixture. Stir just until combined.
• Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full with the batter, using two spoons or an ice cream scoop.
• Streusel Topping
• Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and stir into the reserved one cup of flour mixture until it is crumbly and looks like coarse meal. Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of the streusel on top of each muffin.
• Bake the muffins for about 20-25 minutes, until they're light golden brown on top, and a toothpick inserted into the middle of one of the center muffins comes out clean.
• Remove the muffins from the oven, loosen their edges from the pan, and after about 5 minutes transfer them to a rack to cool.
• Yield: 12 muffins.
• * If using fresh cherries, dust them lightly with flour; this helps prevent the cherries from "bleeding" into the muffins. If using frozen cherries, add them frozen to the batter; this will help prevent them from "bleeding" our their juices.

COTTAGE CHEESECAKE WITH SOUR CHERRY TOPPING

Steps:

• Mix the crust ingredients together. Press into a greased 8"x8" pan and bake at 350* for 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile blend the cheesecake ingredients together until completely smooth. (No need to activate the gelatin first. I use an immersion blender.)
• Pour the cheesecake mixture over the hot crust when it comes out of the oven and return the cheesecake to the oven at 350* for 40 minutes. The cheesecake will still be very jiggly but will get a little darker around the edges (not brown). Remove it from the oven and let it cool completely, then refrigerate to chill completely before cutting and serving. The cheesecake will set up in the refrigerator.
• To make the sour cherry topping, whisk the first four ingredients together in a small saucepan, adding the xanthan gum slowly while whisking so it doesn't clump. (See note below about what to do if you don't have tart cherries canned in water.) Add the cherries after whisking so they don't fall apart. Bring the sauce to a boil, stirring occasionally, then let cool and refrigerate to thicken.
• When both the cheesecake and cherry topping are cold, serve them together. I recommend keeping the cheesecake and topping separate until serving, not spreading the cherry topping onto the cheesecake and storing it in the refrigerator like that.
