Marguerite Royal Nappage Apricot Blond Glaze 1kg

Apricot Glaze

Marguerite Royal Nappage Apricot Blond Glaze is a ready prepared apricot glaze used to give pastries and desserts a neat, glossy finish. It has a smooth gel texture that loosens when gently warmed, making it easy to spread into a thin, even coat. The flavour is light and fruity rather than sugary, so it adds a subtle apricot note while letting the main ingredients shine through. It is a handy choice for glazing fruit topped bakes, finishing cakes and pastries, and giving puddings that final polished look you associate with a good patisserie counter.

Key Features:

• 1kg tub size.
• Contains 8% apricot puree.
• Set with pectins and sodium alginate for a clean glaze finish.
• Can be reduced during warming when you want a thicker coating.

Recipe Inspiration:

• Glaze a classic fruit tart once it is assembled for a clear, professional looking finish.
• Brush over warm apricot and frangipane tart as it comes out of the oven for an appetising sheen.
• Finish choux buns filled with pastry cream with a thin layer of warm glaze, then top with toasted flaked almonds.
• Use as a light glaze on a simple sponge cake before adding fresh sliced fruit and a dusting of icing sugar.

How do pastry chefs stop fruit on tarts from going brown?

A thin glaze helps by creating a light barrier over cut fruit, which slows oxidation that can cause browning and also helps keep the surface looking fresh on display.

What is the difference between nappage and mirror glaze?

Nappage is a pectin based glaze most often used in a fine layer over fruit and pastry, while mirror glaze is typically set with gelatin and poured over very smooth chilled cakes such as mousse cakes to create a reflective finish.

Can you thin apricot nappage glaze before using it?

Yes, it is common to warm nappage until it becomes fluid, and some cooks loosen it with a small amount of water or fruit juice so it brushes on in a thinner, more even layer.
