This glaze is a good starting point, but I would recommend adjusting the ingredients to suit your own taste.

Overall, I thought this glaze was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I'm not a huge fan of apricots, but I loved this glaze. The citrus flavor really shines through.

This glaze was a hit! I used it on roasted chicken and vegetables, and the flavor was amazing. The citrus and apricot flavors were perfectly balanced, and the glaze caramelized beautifully in the oven.
