Since it is getting close to Christmas I thought I better get this
recipe out so if any of you want to make it you will have
time. Might have to substitute a couple of the ingredients.

1/4 cup butter -- (2 oz)

2 tablespoons coarse white sparkling sugar -- (1 1/8 oz),

Mix the dried fruit and liquid in a bowl. Cover the bowl, and let
the fruit sit overnight. Or speed up the process by heating fuit and
liquid in the microwave till very hot, then cooling to lukewarm/room
temp, about 1 hr.
Preheat the oven to 375F. Lightly grease a standard muffin tin, or
line with papers.
Beat together the butter, vegetable oil and sugar till smooth. Add
the eggs, beating to combine. Stir in the Fiori and vanilla.
Whisk toogether the Cake Enhancer, baking powder, salt, and
flour. Stir the dry ingredients into the butter mixture alternately
with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour. Stir in the
fruit, with any remaining liquid. Spoon the batter evenly into the
prepared pan, filling the cups quite full. Sprinkle the tops of the
muffins generously with the coarse sugar.
Bake the muffins for 18 - 20 min, or until they're a sunny gold color
on top, and a cake tester inserted in the middle of one of the center
muffins comes out clean. Remove them from the oven, and transfer to
a rack to cool.
