Jordan Marsh Fresh Blueberry Muffins

Absolutely bursting with berries, this muffin already has me plotting an extra blueberry-picking trip to Michigan this summer. Jordan Marsh department stores were so known for these muffins, that when Macy's bought Jordan Marsh in 1996, they served the muffins at their press conference, says Michael Liskicky, department-store history expert. Passed down from a former JM bakery employee , this recipe is the real deal. Although you may be tempted to overfill the cups, don't. The muffins come out better if you fill cups 2/3rds full.
