1. Combine the cherries and buttermilk in a small bowl, and set aside to soak for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Grease 18 muffin cups or line them with paper liners.
3. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
4. In another bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Add the eggs and mix thoroughly.
5. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, and spoon the cherries and buttermilk into it. Then add the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until thoroughly blended -- but do not overmix.
6. Fill the cups two thirds full with the batter, and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 18-20 minutes.
