Fruit glaze, fruit tart glaze, or apricot glaze is a nice shiny finishing touch for a fresh fruit tart, dessert pizza, or other baked goods. Follow this easy apricot glaze recipe and never wonder how to glaze a fruit tart again.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (125 g) apricot jam or preserves
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) water

* This serving is enough for 8-9 inches (20-23 cm) round fruit tart.

Instructions

  1. Place jam or preserves with water in a small saucepan and bring it over medium heat. Stir constantly for about 3 minutes until the jam melts. Strain the glaze mixture into a small bowl using a fine-mesh sieve to remove lumps or seeds. Let it cool down to room temperature.
  2. With a natural-bristle pastry brush, gently apply the glaze on top of the fruit to keep the arranged pattern. If the tart has exposed areas of creamy custard, apply the glaze there too. Refrigerate the pastry for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

  1. Ensure the fruit is cold and the pastry is cooled down before applying the glaze.
  2. Use the light application of the glaze over the fruit: it should not look thick or jelly-like.
  3. Please avoid using the glaze on the tart shell to prevent it from getting soggy.
  4. Alternatively, use a silicone brush if desired.
  5. To glaze small fruits, such as blueberries, toss them in the glaze first before placing them on the tart.
