For a richer flavor, use browned butter instead of melted butter in the glaze. Adjust the amount of lemon juice to your preference, depending on the sweetness of the apricot preserves. If you prefer a smoother glaze, gently warm the apricot preserves in a saucepan before adding it to the butter and other ingredients. To add a touch of heat, include a pinch of red pepper flakes in the apricot glaze.
