Using a skewer or chopsticks poke holes in the cupcakes to allow the jam to penetrate in.- Place the jam in a bowl and microwave until warmed and liquidy. If you don't like seeds now is an opportunity to strain it.
Using a brush or spoon, coat the cupcakes making sure the jam remains liquidy enough to go down the holes.
Variation in the Outcome
There are a lot of factors that can effect the outcome and you may want to experiment with different combinations to get the outcome you want. - Temperature of the cake effects how much it absorbs - Temperature and viscosity of the jam impacts how much is absorbed - Size of the poke holes
