- Warm up any flavor you prefer but make sure it's clear jam and seedless to coordinate with fruits
- Get sugar-free or all-natural jams that use less sugar for dietary needs
- Store-bought glazes that are in the fruit department in containers are much thicker and not recommended
- Blueberry, apples, and red raspberries along with kiwi, mango, pineapple, cherries, peaches, pears, and apricots are all great substitutes for strawberries if you have allergies
- if using apple slices, brush them with apple butter or use caramel ice cream topping warmed
- It just takes a few tablespoons in the microwave for 11 seconds to warm, brush it on the fruits after you've arranged your pretty design.
