Directions

1. Cut about ½ inch off the top of the garlic garlic.
2. Cut the roots so that the garlic will sit flat.
3. Remove the papery skin from the garlic, but leave enough of the skin in place so that the cloves stay together.
4. Put the garlic into a small casserole dish or baking pan, drizzle the olive oil over it, and cover with a lid or foil.
5. Bake in a preheated 325°F oven for 1 hour.
6. Remove the garlic and let it cool until you can handle it.
7. Combine the water, pineapple juice, teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, and brown sugar in a medium saucepan over medium/high heat.
8. Stir occasionally until the mixture boils, and then reduce heat until the mixture is just simmering.
9. Squeeze the sides of the head of garlic until the pasty roasted garlic is squeezed out.
10. Discard the remaining skin and whisk to combine.
11. Add the remaining ingredients to the pan and stir.
12. Let mixture simmer for 40-50 minutes or until the sauce has reduced by about ½ and is thick and syrupy.
13. Make sure it doesn't boil over.
