This is a recipe that I got from a friend, but I changed a few things. I get frozen cherries at Trader Joe's, and they're perfect in these muffins--fresh are delicious, but so expensive, and I'd rather eat those right out of the bowl.

These sound really great, I love baking with ricotta, and I have a quick bread recipe almost like this ( without the ricotta) using dried cherries. 3/16? what would that equal, would it be ok if I just used 1 tsp of baking soda?
