have used corn syrup but not for glazing. Got it from the baking aisle. Was a long time ago though.

It's used in brewing. Sold as liquid glucose in brewshops or in cake icing shops, or, very expensively, at the chemist. It will keep indefinitely in a clean glass jar in your fridge. However, sieved apricot jam, cooked down to make a glaze, is a much better option, IMO.

Thank you for that! Sounds like I should stick to the jam!! (Didn't realise that corn syrup was the same as liquid glucose-I do have that in the pantry)

I don't think it is the same as liquid glucose.You can get it quite cheaply at Asian supermarkets - its used in Korean desserts so look in the Korean food section.

I have bought corn syrup in the Asian section of a suoermaket near where a lot of Asian people reside. It is Korean I think and it is very reasonably priced.
