This glaze has just the right amount of orange flavor, so it won’t overwhelm even the most delicate desserts. Drizzle it on cakes, tarts or quick breads, or decrease the orange juice (or other liquids in the Variations) slightly to make a thicker glaze that can be spread on cookies.

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Combine all the ingredients and beat until combined and smooth; it should be about the consistency of thick maple syrup -- just pourable. Adjust the consistency by adding a little more liquid or a little more sugar. Use immediately or store, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
