Directions:
1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Combine Mixtures: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the chopped cherries.
5. Fill Muffin Cups: Fill each muffin cup halfway with batter. Add a teaspoon of cherry preserves to the center of each muffin, then top with more batter until the cups are 3/4 full.
6. Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
7. Cool: Let the muffins cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Optional Drizzle: Drizzle with additional cherry preserves if desired.
