Blueberry-cornmeal muffins with thyme glaze (muffins de arandanos con glacé)

A few days ago I made these muffins with blueberries and most of all I wanted to try the paper molds, they are very good because they do not stick or burn.  Now that I see them I think they could also be made for Christmas. We are already so close. I've been watching recipes, I always watch a lot but of course I can not do all of them and I'm on the computer for a while.  But I like to look at everything Christmas and of course I think about my mom. Esperanza wants to make the Christmas Cake my mom made,   it's absolutely delicious,  and really smell like Christmas (by the spices) I did it here  years ago if someone wants to see it, just like stollen , my mom's Christmas cake   is the best I've tasted. The cookies .., Salmon puff pastry . so many things. Once again I know I can not do everything. But Christmas is here and is wonderful :) Pomegranate Jellies My mom's Christmas cake Blueberry Cornmeal muffins with thyme glaze (Adapted from Bake from scratch) Ing
