Blueberry Peach Muffins
Hubby and I were getting ready to leave for vacation and I wanted to do some baking (shocking, I know!) I decided to make some muffins since they travel well. I had seen this recipe on Katie’s blog and it instantly made me think of the spiced peach jam I made for Steph Chow’s Jam Exchange. When it came time to bake these muffins, I decided to use up an extra pint of blueberries we had in the fridge instead of adding a cut up peach.
These muffins were delicious! Hubby said they’re the best muffins I’ve ever made, and I make muffins on a regular basis. They were extremely moist and the peach and blueberry flavors go well together.
Blueberry Peach Muffins
Yield: 12 muffins
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup flour, sifted
3/4 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp freshly ground nutmeg
1/2 cup spiced peach preserves - I used my peach jam
1/3 cup milk
2 Tbsp plain yogurt
1 egg
1 pint blueberries
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a muffin tin with paper cups.
In large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and whisk to combine.
In medium bowl, combine preserves, milk, yogurt, egg, and whisk to combine well.
Mix wet ingredients into dry until just combined.
Fold in blueberries and spoon equally into 12 muffin cups.
Place muffins into oven and bake for 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
Let cool completely before serving.

How yummy, and the color is so beautiful!

Yes, I absolutely love the color of this curd!
I love fruit curds. This combination sounds wonderful. I’ve been wanting to make passionfruit curd for a long time. Hopefully I will get to that soon.

The passionfruit curd is definitely my favorite of all time. It’s just such a unique flavor.
I love lemon curd on a good fruit quickbread. I once made lemon loaf with lemon curd and it was to DIE for. How long to curds typically keep in the fridge?

Oohhh… double lemon – sounds delicious. They never stay around very long when I make them, but I think they’d be fine in the fridge for a week or two.
this sounds delicious! I’ve got some key lime curd in my fridge, not sure what I’ll do with the last bit of it…

Key lime curd – YUM! Did you juice them yourself? They’re so tiny.
I love the idea of a blackberry lime curd… two of my favorite flavors married into curd! I love meyer lemon curd, too 🙂

I still haven’t been able to find meyer lemons at my store. Of course, I haven’t looked too hard either…
This looks delicious! And I love anything that gives me a use for egg yolks, since I use whites so often.

I’m the same way. I hoard recipes that take divided eggs. Now that I started making ice cream, I need more that use whites…
If you make a cake or something with the curd in it or on it does it need to be refrigerated?

I used this curd in a cake: http://www.beantownbaker.com/2013/03/coconut-almond-cake-with-blackberry-lime-curd-filling.html and the leftovers were stored in the fridge.
This looks amazing, but I was wondering how much it made, I have picked enough blackberries to make 3 times this. Xx

It made probably 2.5-3 cups of curd. Hope you enjoy it!
