"I have to be honest and say that this recipe did not meet my expectations. I feel the sherry flavor is too over- powerering. The currants all sunk to the bottom of all of my muffins. These muffi..." See morens are pretty good right out of the oven. When they are room temperature, they're not so good. Also: too high in fat."
