How to Clear Glaze Fruit

Adding a clear glaze to fruit will give it a shiny appearance and sweet taste.

Glazed fruit is used in many recipes, including cakes, pies and tarts. If you wish to glaze some fruit but want the glaze to be clear, there is a simple syrup recipe that you can follow. The syrup will coat the fruit and give it a pretty sheen as well as extra sweetness from the sugar. Glazed fruit can be used either fresh or in a baked good.
