orange glaze

Tangy pastry finish

Orange glaze is a sweet, glossy coating made with orange juice or zest, typically drizzled over baked goods like cakes, scones, or pastries.

The citrus flavor brightens rich or dense desserts: The pound cake was finished with an orange glaze.

In savory cooking, orange glaze appears on roasted meats, especially duck and ham, where its sweetness balances the fat.
