Tips

• Canned cherries freeze well. Simply drain, pat dry and pack in a freezer bag or container. Seal well. If you pack them loose, you will then be able to take out individual cherries as and when you need them - they make great fruity ice cubes for cocktails and punches! The cherries will keep in the freezer for about 6 months.
• You can eat the muffin straight from the mug or turn it out onto a plate by simply running a knife round the edge and tip upside down on to a plate to remove.
• Check the capacity of your mugs by filling them with water and then measuring the water quantity in a jug. If you use a mug smaller in the size, the mixture will bubble out into the microwave and won't cook properly. You can use a mug that is larger in capacity but the mixture will cook lower down in the mug.
