What is the purpose of fruit glaze?

Fruit glaze gives the pastry a shiny finish, prevents the fruit from drying out, and preserves the fruit's color by preventing oxidation. Jam glaze brings an additional flavor to the baked pastry.

How do you preserve fruit on top of a cake?

The best way to preserve fruit on top of the cake is to brush it with a fruit glaze (apricot glaze, red currant glaze, clear fruit glaze, lime glaze, or nappage glaze).

What fruits can be glazed?

You can glaze fresh fruit on top of tarts, fruit flans, pies, cheesecakes, and dried or cooked fruits in pastries to make them look shiny and last longer.

Instructions

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 in a small bowl using a fine-mesh sieve: it helps remove lumps or seeds. Let it cool down at room temperature.
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 the creamy custard, apply the glaze too. Refrigerate the pastry for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

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