Rich Christmas muffins

We use a batter similar to christmas cake batter to make this christmas cupcakes .I call this be

rich because we use a large amount of butter .We decorate it with apricort jam. If you dont have apricot jam ,use another jam such as orange or pineapple jam.

I think its better to use freshly homemade candied orange peels or newly brought orange peels for a rich christmas taste and look.
