<p>A simple solution we would use is to mix the jam with some buttercream. Just enough to keep it from being runny. Also be sure your cakes are completely cool before putting jams or jellies on them to keep it from breaking down into "jelly juice" :)</p>
<p>Hope this helps!</p>

I agree with Goreti. I either make a curd. Or I just buy the frozen fruit, ie: strawberries/blueberries and slowly cooked them down to a thick compote. I don't add any sugar until it's good and thick, this way it doesn't become too sweet. You have the natural sweetness of the berries, and you can add a small amount of honey, agave, sugar to enhance the flavour. Personally , I don't add any extra sugar.

<p>I usually make curd when I want fruit fillings. The recipe I usually use which is very stable is the following:</p>
<ul class="ingredientsList first">
<li class="ingredient">6 large eggs</li>
<li class="ingredient">1 cup sugar or more depending on the fruit</li>
<li class="ingredient">2 tablespoon cornstarch</li>
<li class="ingredient">1/8 teaspoon salt</li>
<li class="ingredient">1 lb of fresh or frozen fruit (thawed)</li>

</ul>

<li class="ingredient">1 lb of fresh or frozen fruit (thawed)</li>
<li class="ingredient">1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes</li>
</ul>
<h2>PREPARATION</h2>
<p><strong>Make curd:</strong><br/>Whisk together eggs, sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a bowl until smooth.</p>
<p>Heat passion-fruit purée in a 1 1/2- to 2-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat until heated through, then add hot purée to egg mixture in a slow stream, whisking until combined. Return to saucepan. Whisk in butter, 1 cube at a time, over moderate heat and cook, whisking frequently, until mixture is thickened and just comes to a boil, about 6 minutes. Cook, whisking constantly, 2 minutes more. Force curd through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl and chill, its surface covered with wax paper, at least 8 hours.</p>

<p>For strawberry & blueberry, I sometimes add a little lemon zest.</p>
