Apricot Glaze Recipe
Here is a recipe for a simple apricot glaze that can be used to add flavor and shine to cakes, cookies, and other baked goods.
Ingredients
- 1 cup apricot preserves
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 tablespoon corn syrup
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine the apricot preserve, water, and corn syrup.
- Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it comes to a simmer.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened slightly.
- Remove the pan from the heat and let the glaze cool to room temperature.
- Once the glaze has cooled, it can be used to glaze cakes, cookies, or other baked goods. Simply brush the glaze over the surface of the baked goods, or drizzle it over the top using a spoon or a pastry bag.
Notes
If the glaze is too thick, you can add a little more water to thin it out. If it is too thin, you can add a little more apricot preserve or corn syrup to thicken it up. You can also adjust the flavor of the glaze by adding a little lemon juice or almond extract. Experiment with different variations to find the flavor and consistency that you like best.
