Applying a glaze to fruit helps maintain its appealing when used to decorate cakes, cupcakes, and pies. Many store-bought glaze mixes in the United States contain various dyes. A simple and quick solution to this issue is to use your favorite preserve, such as strawberry, apricot, or plum. Heat the preserves in the microwave for a few seconds then brush the glaze onto the fruit.

I use 1/4 cup of preserves for the top of 1 pie. For 1/4 cup of preserves about 30 seconds in the microwave is all you need.
