Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams apricot preserves
- 120 grams peach preserves
- 60 milliliters water
- 15 milliliters fresh lemon juice
- 15 grams granulated sugar
- 5 grams cornstarch
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the apricot preserves, peach preserves, and water over medium heat.
Add the fresh lemon juice and granulated sugar to the saucepan, stirring to combine.
In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in 1 tablespoon of water until smooth, then add it to the saucepan.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer while stirring continuously to prevent lumps.
Cook the glaze for 5-7 minutes, or until it thickens and becomes smooth and glossy.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and strain the glaze through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any fruit chunks for a smooth finish.
Allow the glaze to cool slightly before brushing it onto your fruit pies, tarts, or coffee cakes using a pastry brush.
Store any leftover glaze in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
