Cherry Pistachio Meyer Lemon Cornmeal Muffins with Streusel Topping

These dream inspired muffins use cherries that aren’t in season right now. So I used canned cherries provided by Oregon Fruit Product Co. That said, if cherries happen to be in season where you are, feel free to use pitted fresh cherries (sweet works, but sour is even better). Otherwise pick up a can of sour cherries or use frozen pitted cherries. Just drain them/defrost them before use.
