Question: Can i make glaze if i dont have powdered sugar!. if so how!?
Answers:
Often pastry chefs use apricot jam for a glaze for danishes, etc!.

Get your apricot jam (half a cup) in a small pot and mix it with some (2 tbsp) water!. Put it on the stove on low and stir until it reduces!. Put it through a seive to get rid of the pulp and use your remaining jam as a glaze!.

You can use other jams/ jellies too, but apricot is preferred because it has a neutral flavour!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Regular sugar can be put in the processor for a while with a touch of cornstarch - that will turn it into confectioners' sugar,

Or you could heat regular sugar in a liquid like orange juice or coffee (whatever) or even water - just heat until the sugar is completely dissolved!. Then use that as glaze!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Did you know that powdered sugar is simply superfine white sugar and cornstarch blended!. Hope that helps!. Mix the two then add to some butter and cream together!. Constantly taste test the mixture though!. dont over do it on the cornstarch!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Glaze for what!? Brown sugar and honey should make a good glaze!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
