  • 1/2 c orange juice

  • 1/2 t vanilla (optional)
  • 3 c confectioners’ sugar, plus more as needed
  • pinch salt
  1. Combine all ingredients.
  2. Beat till smooth and thick as maple syrup — just pourable.

*Creamy orange glaze: Substitute 1/4 c cream for half the orange juice. Add 3 T very soft butter if you like.

*Vanilla glaze: Substitute cream, milk, or a combination for the orange juice. Omit the zest and increase vanilla to 1 t.

*Lemon or lime glaze: Substitute 1/4 c lemon or lime juice plus 1/4 c water for the orange juice. Omit vanilla.
