Youtube will not allow me to post direct links, but go to Amazon and search for - Fox Run 36-Piece Mini Tartlettes Set - you'll see this nice set of tiny tartlet tins for under $10, that's a super deal. Thanks for the comment, and watching my video, I appreciate it !

Hi Angie, I thought I should do a fast video for those who want to make the glaze at home. Easy to do and inexpensive :-) Hope you are enjoying your weekend. Thank you for watching my video :-)

I am definitely going to try this. I was at the hospital and they had this tri-tip dish with an apricot glaze and it was surprisingly excellent. Will try to recreate this

Thanks for this tip.  I used the pastry brush, as you demonstrated, and it worked great! For the glaze, you can also use jelly - apple or white grape or whatever flavor works with your food. With jelly, you don't have to strain it.

Hi Alex ! in the pastry shoppe we buy this in huge buckets ( only available to commercial buyers ) but at home, this is the way to go, simple and inexpensive ! At home, when you see how much you can get out of a bottle, it makes you smile doesn't it :-) Thanks for watching my video Alex and good luck with your cake !

Hi Angie, believe it or not, any dollar store can get these. I buy stuff from restaurant suppliers in my area, but you can buy stuff like that ( the sieve for example ) at dollar stores, even Wal-mart, Target, etc. Those tiny tart shells, - next time you are in a big mall, wall into any of the kitchen stores, many of them sell stuff ( like the tiny tart molds ) and many other things you won't find at a large chain like Wal-mart. Try Amazon also - very good choices there also ! :-)

Hi James, sure thing, you could do the exact same thing with strawberry jam, or raspberry jam, even blueberry jam. Any jam that you have, you can do this with, of course you would want to pair the type of jam with what you are making, but for at home, anything goes, no rules ! you pick the jam YOU like, and try it. Thanks for the great question James ! Thanks for watching my video too :-)

[JAMES]

Can you use another type of jam or preserve instead of apricot?

Luv your channnel OMG if you reply it would make my day luv this video this will come in handy i am 9 y.o and i love to bake so you have inspired me thx

When you said you were microwaving again and sieving (sp?) again, was that with the part that already went through or the thicker remains? That is, did you sieve the glaze twice or just get more out of the original? Geez, I’m asking the question and even I can’t understand what I’m asking. I hope you can.

Thanks.

Chef, can we buy the "Apricot Harmony Nappage glaze" in the shop to instead of we make it?

[Xiimnaa]

I really hope after so many years you can answer my question....
So I want to do this with just peaches, on a cake. will it ruin my frosting or drip? If so, how can I avoid it?
THANK YOU! After 23 videos this one was the most helpful!
