    Very good glaze! I used to glaze Christmas cookies where I don’t want to use much sugar powder. Also to make more complex taste I used pomegranate juice instead of lemon! Give nice deep red color and unique flavors!
    Thanks!

          Hi Mary,

          Sure! It won’t be like a traditional confectioners’ sugar glaze but more of a light brush on. If you wanted to make it more of a true glaze I’d say mix in some of the lemon syrup with the confectioners’ sugar then drizzle it on.

          Best Kitchen Wishes!

      Sure though it’s not tacky like say how heated apricot jam would be.
