We had a lot of problems baking these muffins and we wasted so much of our time and it turned out to be terrible!!!! You need a LOT more sugar for these muffins. I would not recommend this recipe to ANYONE! We're feeling very angry! All of the measurements are wrong AND no shortening is required. It ruined the whole thing!

The taste of these was okay but I had difficulty making them. I made big muffins (qty of 8) and had difficulty removing them from the pan. When I did get them out, I found that the jam had basically sunk to the bottom and I now had a hole in the bottom with jam leaking out. The muffins had to be cooled and stored upside down. I used about 4-6 oz of a 12 oz jar of jam.
