Matthew Morgan's Blueberry Muffins

Episode #13 offered some of the pleasures of old New England hospitality with Matthew Morgan's home made blueberry muffins.  He served them to Victoria Winters on a dark fall evening with a pot of freshly brewed tea.  What could be better, I thought, and so I prepared my favorite recipe for blueberry muffins using wild Maine blueberries which is, of course, what Matthew would have done.  During the winter months in Collinsport we use the frozen berries that were picked in the late summer.  The muffins were tender, fluffy and delicious with a slightly crunchy sugary top.  The tea is Constant Comment tea and its orange and spice flavor was the perfect accompaniment for the muffins.  Try this some afternoon or early evening and see how much you enjoy it.  And don't be stingy with the butter!  The episode ended unhappily but I had hoped that Victoria and Matthew were going to form a friendship and would trust each other through some of the complicated events unfolding at Collinwood, but alas this was not to be.
