This is such a simple recipe and is great for so many things, other than dessert.

I use it on my Apricot Glazed Grilled Cornish Hens, after adding a savory herbed butter sauce.

It’s perfect to top a Japanese Cotton Cheesecake.

Cast of Ingredients for Easy 5 Minute Apricot Glaze Recipe

You’ll only need two ingredients and you can change it up, however you want. Grand Marnier, Triple-Sec, any orange liqueur is fine.

If you don’t want to use a liqueur, plain water is fine

If you want another flavor of glaze, choose whatever flavor preserves you like and match to a flavored liqueur.

Using a Small Saucepan, combine the Apricot Preserves and Grand Marnier.

Simmer over medium low heat until mostly liquid.

Whisk the Apricot with the Gran Mariner

Use a Stainless Steel Flat Whisk and whip it for about four minutes, breaking up the clumps.

It’s good on a bagel too. Shhhhh, don’t tell anyone.
