How to clear extruder jam?

I was printing PLA and I had my first jam up in an extruder.
The jam wasn't only in the nozzle.  It appears that this hole is still plugged, even with the nozzle removed.
I can't feed filament through it.
Suggestions on how to clean this out?

I pull the nozzle out the bottom.  If the jammed pieced doesn't come out with the nozzle, I then push a  length of stiff wire up from the bottom through the nozzle passage to force the jam out.  It's worked for me so far.
