Ingredients
- 250g (8oz /1 cup) apricot jam (preserves/conserve)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Preparations
-
step 1
Warm over a medium-warm heat until the jam melts. Stir occasionally to prevent it from burning.
step 2Add the lemon juice and stir through the sieved jam.The sieving process can be skipped if you've used clear apricot jam.
step 3Bring to the boil and boil for half a minute. Remove the jam from the heat immediately.
step 4Once the apricot jam has cooled a little, it can be added to a cake to form a glaze. Apply with a clean pastry or silicone brush, brushing over the top of the cake. Marzipan, fondant or royal icing can be added after the glaze.
