What does GLACE mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Coated with a thin, glossy layer of sugar syrup; candied or glazed, especially of fruit used in baking and confectionery.
Glace comes from the French word for iced or frozen and describes fruit, such as cherries or ginger, that has been boiled in heavy sugar syrup until it turns translucent and shiny. The process preserves the fruit while giving it a candy-like glossy coating prized in cakes and desserts. In English word lists glace usually appears without the accent that French spelling normally adds, glacé.
