Add the flour and baking powder, then stir until just combined.
Add the cherries and cherry juice to the bowl, then stir gently until well-mixed.
Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin tins.
Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until edges are just browned. Cool the muffins completely before adding the glaze.

Glaze:

Whisk together the powdered sugar, butter and cherry juice until smooth. If you’d like a thinner glaze, add more cherry juice, 1 teaspoon at a time.
If you prefer a thicker glaze, add more powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
Spoon 2 teaspoons of glaze over each muffin then immediately top each muffin with a cherry. Let the glaze harden, then serve.
