Ingredients

2 eggs
2 cups white sugar
6 tablespoons butter, softened
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 ½ cups canned sweet cherries, drained
1 ½ cups chopped pecans

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a medium mixing bowl, beat eggs and sugar together; add butter and beat well.
In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture, alternating with milk. Fold in the cherries and pecans; stir just to combine.
Scoop batter into prepared muffin pans and bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
