My Pro Tip for creating a beautiful fruit glaze… I love decorating cakes, tarts, and pastries with fresh fruit, especially in the summertime when we have fresh fruit in abundance. That fruit looks even more inviting with a glossy sheen. Creating a glaze for fruit is easier than you might think. All you have to do is warm a small amount of apricot jam until it is liquid, then use a pastry brush to brush a thin layer of warm jam onto the fruit. This jam coating will give the fruit a beautiful shine. It also adds just a touch of sweetness without changing the flavor of the fruit, keeps the fruits fresher for a longer period of time, and helps to hold the fruit in place on your dessert. Just remember, you only need a very small amount of jam to achieve a beautiful sheen. If you put too much jam on your fruit, it will change the flavor of the fruit and become clumpy when it cools. Less is definitely more when you want the perfect glaze. mspexcite lowertownneighbor visitsaintpaul alicia...
