Pie Glaze

[goodboy69]

Hi

Just out of interest I have just come back from a trip down to Cardiff, where in food hall in John Lewis (I think) there were lots of cutting pies like pork, chicken etc. But what really caught my eye was the almost mirror like glaze that was on the top of them. God they looked good, tasted not so good, but the look was excellent.

Does anyone on here know how they would have achieved this?

It'll be a commercial pie glaze. You could do similar with gelatine and/or some sort of sugar/fruit combination on top.

Could be egg yolk ?
