Cranberry Harvest Muffins Recipe courtesy Open House Cookbook by Sarah Chase, and as reprinted in The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook, Copyright 1999, All Rights Reserved (5 Stars) Serves:
    18 large  muffins
Ingredients
    3 cups  all-purpose flour
    1 tablespoon  baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon  baking soda
    1/2 teaspoon  salt
    1 tablespoon  ground cinnamon
    2 teaspoons  ground ginger
    1 1/4 cups  whole milk
2 extra-large eggs
    1/2 pound  unsalted butter, melted and cooled
    1 1/2 cups  coarsely chopped fresh cranberries
    1/2 cup  medium-diced Calimyrna figs
    3/4 cup  coarsely chopped hazelnuts, toasted and skinned
    3/4 cup  brown sugar, packed
    3/4 cup  granulated sugar

Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Line 18 muffin cups with paper liners. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and ginger in a large bowl. Make a well in the center of the mixture and add the milk, eggs, and melted butter. Stir quickly just to combine. Add the cranberries, figs, hazelnuts, and both sugars and stir just to distribute the fruits, nuts, and sugar evenly throughout the batter.

Spoon the batter into the paper liners, filling each one to the top. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until browned on the top and a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffins comes out clean.
