Ingredients You’ll Need for Raspberry Glaze

To make this amazing glaze, start by gathering some fresh, juicy raspberries. The raspberry base will give your glaze that perfect color and natural flavor. Here are the essential ingredients:

• Fresh raspberries
  Icing sugar
  Optional: a splash of milk for consistency

Step-by-Step Process for Making Raspberry Glaze

1. Prepare the Raspberries: Begin by melting down the raspberries in a pot over low heat. Let them cook until the liquid separates from the pulp—this process typically takes about 2-5 minutes.

2. Strain the Mixture: Once the raspberries have fully melted, strain the liquid into a bowl of icing sugar. This removes seeds and pulp, ensuring a smooth glaze.

3. Combine and Adjust Consistency: Use a whisk to mix the raspberry liquid and icing sugar until you reach the desired consistency. Add a drop of milk if you prefer a thinner glaze.

4. Apply the Glaze: Once your glaze is ready, dip your donuts, and add any decorative toppings. The glaze should be thick enough to stay on the donut without dripping.

This raspberry glaze adds not only vibrant color but also a rich, fruity taste that elevates homemade donuts to the next level. For those interested in diving deeper into donut-making, check out Kane's full course on Domestika.
