Jailbreak but still restore from backup with apps in place

[iperson21]

hey, i recently jailbroke my ipod, and i didnt want all my 250 apps/500 songs to resync, (didnt want to wait) so i lost all my apps.
now when i think about it, how can i get the apps back in order? because when you jailbreak it goes into recovery mode and you can't restore it from a backup?
plaese help. thanks

but wouldn't that undo the jailbreak?
if i did this-> restore from iOS touch 4th gen firmware
jailbreak the firmware with redsn0w tethered
ipod goes into recovery mode.
only option is to sync it? or can i restore it and is the firmware on my desktop now jailbroken??
