How to Glaze Fruit

Recipe by Kelli Avila

This tutorial will show you How to Glaze Fruit for a simple yet effective way to elevate the look (and prolong the freshness) of homemade fruit tarts and other desserts. 

  • Total Time5 minutes
  • Yield1/4 cup fruit glaze

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup fruit preserves or jam or preserves
  • 1-2 tablespoons water

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine the preserves and water. Cook over low heat until the preserves have melted and the mixture is smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a small container.
  3. Allow the glaze to cool for a few minutes, but not too long as it can start to set.
  4. Using a silicone pastry brush, lightly and evenly apply the barely warm glaze to the fruit. If the glaze thickens, gently reheat it with a bit of additional water as needed.

Equipment

Notes

To ensure the perfect fruit glaze consistency, test it by glazing just one piece of fruit first. It's a delicate balance between adding enough glaze to cover the fruit without making it gummy. If the glaze is too thick, reheat and add a bit more water. If it's too thin, reduce the glaze on the stove until it reaches the desired consistency.

Leftover glaze can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat before using again.
