Jordan Marsh Blueberry Muffins

Once upon a time , I had a day off & my mother had a pint of blueberries.

This pair and also just the overwhelming consensus that:

.... resulted in my search for the perfect blueberry muffin recipe.

Growing up in Boston--you would always hear older people refer to

 "the blueberry muffins Jordan M-aaah-sh used to have" . ( a.k.a Jordan MaRsh)

It was a Boston based department store which was eventually bought out by Macy's.

Of course when I googled "Jordan Marsh Blueberry Muffin" about 1000 results came back , so I started to go through and weed out the faux recipes & wannabe's.

The winner was :

Loved this one because it also came with a great history lesson. 

So thank you historically accurate blogger.

They were so moist and fluffy. For real.

So after the test kitchen opened it's doors I was able to get a quote from a fairly accurate tester who allegedly witnessed the original Jordan Marsh gems first hand ---my father.

His reply-- " The real muffins were a lot bigger". 

Straight from the mouth of the King of Constructive Criticism himself.

Alas, they were still dam tasty & I'm pretty proud !

On a side note I realize I would enjoy having a good-bye phrase to closeout all my posts.

Any suggestions ?

I'll have to think about it.

Til' next time
