I love this on my steak, chicken, burgers, salmon, shrimp - you can eat this with almost everything

• Ready In: 2 hrs 20 mins
• Serves: 12
• Yields: 1 cup

Ingredients

• Roasted Garlic

• 1  head garlic
• 1  tablespoon olive oil

• Sauce

• 2⁄3 cup water
• 1  cup  pineapple juice
• 1⁄4 cup  teriyaki sauce
• 1  tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 1⁄3 cups dark brown sugar
• 3  tablespoons lemon juice
• 3  tablespoons  white onions, minced
• 1  tablespoon  whiskey Bourbon
• 1⁄4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional if you want a kick)

Directions

1. Roasted Garlic:
2. Cut about 1/2 inch off the top of the garlic. Cut the roots so that the garlic will sit flat. Remove the papery skin from the garlic, but leave enough so that the cloves stay together. Put garlic into small casserole dish or baking pan, drizzle olive oil over it, and cover with foil. Bake in a preheated 325 degree oven for 1 hour. Remove the garlic and let it cool until you can handle it. (optional: I have found roasted garlic at the grocery store - makes for an easier prep).
3. Sauce:
4. Combine water, pineapple juice, teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, & cayenne pepper in a medium saucepan over medium high heat. Stir occasionally until mixture boils. Reduce heat until mixture is just simmering.
5. Squeeze the sides of the head of garlic until the roasted garlic is squeezed out. Add remaining ingredients to the pan and stir.
6. Let mixture simmer for 50 minutes, or until sauce has reduced by half and is thick and syrupy. Make sure it doesn’t boil over.
