Blueberry Muffins with Lime Glaze

This recipe shows how you can modify a recipe you like. It is almost identical to the cranberry orange recipe. In the summer, my kids are responsible for picking the blueberries from our bushes. We freeze the berries to use throughout the year. Our berries are slightly tart. I think the berries taste sweeter if you thaw the blueberries before adding them to the batter.

I like the flavor the lime zest and glaze add to the muffins. A thick glaze spread on warm, not hot muffins, works best. Otherwise, your glaze drips off the muffins. The recipe makes about 18 regular size muffins.
