Apricot Glaze Food

EASY 5 MINUTE APRICOT GLAZE RECIPE

Steps:

• Add preserves and liqueur to a saucepan and cook over medium low heat, whisking continually, until mixture becomes liquid, about four minutes.
• Use as is, or blend with an immersion blender or strain through a sieve for a completely smooth glaze.

PINEAPPLE-APRICOT GLAZE

Steps:

• Grate the zest of 2 limes; set aside. Squeeze the juice into a saucepan; add 8 thin slices ginger and 2 cups unsweetened pineapple juice. Boil until reduced to 1/2 cup, 8 to 10 minutes. Strain, then add the lime zest, 1 cup apricot preserves and 1/4 cup dijon mustard.

APRICOT-MUSTARD GLAZE

Steps:

• Combine the apricot jam, mustard, vinegar and lots of black pepper in the jam jar or a mason jar. Shake until well blended.
• Use the glaze like you would a BBQ sauce. Brush on or pour over pieces of grilled or pan-seared chicken, pork chop or salmon just before it's done cooking and let cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes.

APRICOT GLAZED DUCK

Steps:

• Pierce the skin of the ducks and rub with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and poultry seasoning. Let marinate for a few hours or overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
• Stuff each duck with pieces of apple, orange, onion and celery. Rub the ducks with soy sauce and oil and place in roasting pan. Baste with red wine. Cover with aluminum foil and place in oven. Every 15 minutes baste the ducks with more wine and juices from the pan. Let bake for about 2 hours and 15 minutes to 2 1/2 hours.
• Combine apricot preserves with honey and thin it out with a little water. Uncover the ducks and baste with the glaze. Turn the oven to broil and cook ducks for about 10-15 more minutes. Just keep an eye on them so they do not burn.
• Serve with garlic bread to soak up the juices.

APRICOT-GLAZE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place chicken in a greased 9-in. square baking dish. Combine the mayonnaise, preserves and onion; spoon over chicken. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 25-minutes or until chicken juices run clear.

EASY APRICOT-GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Mix apricot preserves with mustard.
• Place salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Brush 1/2 of the apricot mixture over top.
• Bake on the top rack of the preheated oven for 16 minutes. Pull from the oven and brush with remaining apricot mixture. Cook until salmon flakes easily with a fork, about 2 more minutes.

APRICOT GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Score the fatty side of the ham with a sharp knife in a diamond pattern, spacing the lines about 1 inch apart. Insert whole cloves at the intersections, if desired. Place the ham in a shallow roasting pan and cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake the ham in the preheated oven for about 90 minutes. About 10 minutes before the ham is finished, measure the apricot preserves into a small saucepan. Warm over medium heat until liquid, then remove from the heat and stir in the honey mustard.
• Brush the glaze onto the ham, and return to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until the glaze is nicely browned. Let the ham stand for about 10 minutes before carving and serving.
