Berry Delicious

Check out these delicious cupcakes that I perfected in my kitchen!  You can make them too.  I will give you all the details.

First, make a batch of Duncan Hines French Vanilla cupcakes according to package.
Allow cupcakes to cool.

While the cupcakes are cooling, make the blackberry fillling.
Get out a pan and melt 4 tablespoons of butter.  Then add 4 tablespoons of sugar over low heat.
Next add several handfuls of blackberries, fresh or frozen. 
Then add jam of your choice, such as blackberry, raspberry, or grape.  Use about 1/2 cup of jam.  Add more sugar if needed, according to your tastes.
Allow to cool. 

Blackberry Filling

Next, cut out a circle of cake from the center of each cupcake.  Then spoon in the filling.  Replace cupcake centers.  Top the cupcakes with cream cheese frosting.  Garnish each cupcake with a blackberry and drizzle some juice.
