get those seeds out!

I'm using a great raspberry jam as a filling for a birthday cake. my problem is the seeds in the jam- I certainly don't want the seeds in the cake, but I don't have a seive or fine strainer. could I melt the jam down and pour it through cheesecloth? should I just run it in my food processor? any ideas?

Rachael Ray - Why do my 30 minute meals take longer than your 30 minute meals?

Lets see, this question really has a few different answers. I would like to interview Alton Brown just because I love his show and want to see what he is like in real life. One of the most interesting people to interviews would be Paula Dean since she is such a character. Finally, if I had to pick someone purely on good looks (and probably good food too) I'd have to choose Giada De'Laurentes.
