Washington House Inn Cherry Muffins image

The Washington House Inn is a bed and breakfast in Cedarburg Wisconsin. This is often on the breakfast menu there. I have slightly modified the original recipe to our tastes. The number of muffins is approximate. Start this at least the night before as the cherries need a minimum of 12 hours to "marinate".(not included in prep time)
