Notes
- Store: While best used fresh, you can store the glaze in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. To avoid it drying out, you can place plastic wrap pressed right on the surface of the glaze.
- Reheat: When ready to use, gently reheat the glaze on the stovetop or in a microwave at low power, stirring frequently to regain its smooth consistency.
