Directions
Directions:
Preheat oven broiler; line a small sheet pan with foil, and place blackberries on pan. Warm the preserves in the microwave for 10-20 seconds, or until liquid; pour over berries, and toss until well combined.
Broil for 2-3 minutes, or until berries start to caramelize.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 9 muffins cups with cooking spray; sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon cornmeal into bottom of each cup.

In a medium sized mixing bowl, sift together all purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder and salt; stir in sugar and poppy seeds, until well combined.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, egg, milk, lemon peel, lemon juice and vanilla extract, until well combined. Stir flour mixture into liquid mixture, until just combined; gently fold in blackberries.

Divide batter into 9 muffin cups, and sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon cornmeal over each muffin cup, followed by almonds. Bake at 350 degrees F, for 20-23 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out with moist crumbs attached. Cool for 10 minutes, run a knife around outside edges, and lift muffins out onto a wire rack, to cool completely (or not).

Yield: 9 muffins.
