Peach and Poppy Seed Muffins

2/3 c Peach; puréed*
1 ts Baking soda
10 T Butter; softened
1 c Sugar
2 Egg
1 1/4 c Flour
1/4 ts Salt
1/2 ts Vanilla extract
3 T Poppy seeds

*use "Junior" baby food peaches if you can't get good fresh peaches

Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Grease muffin tins for a dozen muffins. Stir baking soda into pureed peaches. They will foam up. Cream butter with sugar.

When mixture is smooth, add eggs, one at a time. Alternately add flour and peach puree, then salt, vanilla extract, and poppy seeds. Fill each muffin cup nearly to the top. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick or cake tester inserted in one of the muffins comes out clean. Makes 12 large muffins.
