2/3 c. pureed peaches
1 tsp. baking soda
10 tbsp. butter, softened
1 c. sugar
2 eggs
1 1/4 c. flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
3 tbsp. poppy seeds

Or use "junior" baby food peaches if you cannot get good, fresh peaches.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 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.
