Making a fruit glaze?

i want to make a fruity type glaze from fruit juices, i'm assuming it doesnt work the same way as wines, so how do i thicken fruit juices while still keeping the great taste?

Making a fruit glaze?
If you truely want to make a fruit glaze then you need to start with fresh fruit, not juice. Juice has been pasturized and filtered and just doesn't hold up to the process as well. What you need to do is get some of your favorite fruit or fruits, a small sauce pan, sugar, water, and if you want.. some alchohol (preferably brandy or bourbon). Take the fruit, a moderate amout of water, and alchohol (if your using it) and put them in the sauce pan. start with a low heat and bring to a simmer. Taste. If too tart add the sugar in small amounts until it tastes right for you. Continue to simmer and stir until the sauce can coat the back of the spoon nicely without just pouring off (the term for this is nappe). Once you have the sauce to the consistency that you want strain out all the seeds and pulp and return to heat. Make sure to squeeze the pulp to get all the sryup and juices out. Taste. Adjust seasonings according to your tastes. Simmer for about 5-10 min and viola you have a fresh fruit glaze to impress your friends and family. If you still wish to use fruit juices instead of fresh you will have to use Unflavored Gelatin from the store. Just follow the directions on the box for making hot glaze.

Reply:Easy. Corn starch. Mix 1 Tblsp. cornstarch with 1/2 cup cold water. Bring your fruit juices to a boil, re-stir the cornstarch mixture and add to the juices, stirring constantly. It will thicken within 2 minutes. Remove from heat at once.
