Instructions
Roast garlic
- Heat oven to 400°F. Peel loose paper off the garlic, keeping the whole head together.
- Slice off the top 1/2” of the whole head, exposing the tops of the cloves. Place garlic on a sheet of foil and drizzle the exposed cloves liberally with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Wrap the foil up around the garlic, then place in baking dish and roast for 40-50 minutes. Set aside until cool enough to handle.
Make the glaze
- Add pineapple juice, water, teriyaki sauce, soy sauce and brown sugar to a medium saucepan and heat over MED HIGH heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, whisking occasionally, then once lightly boiling, reduce heat to LOW so the mixture is simmering.
- Squeeze roasted garlic cloves out into a small bowl and mash the cloves until smooth. Alternately, you can add the cloves to the saucepan and use a whisk to mash them, but I've found it's difficult to get the garlic as smooth this way.
- Add lemon juice, white onion, whiskey, crushed pineapple and cayenne pepper. Whisk to combine, then adjust heat if needed to keep the sauce simmering steadily.
- Let sauce simmer for 45-50 minutes, until sauce has reduced by about half and is syrupy in texture. Keep an eye on it so that it doesn’t boil over. Keep in mind the sauce will thicken a bit more as it cools.
- Set aside to cool a bit, then use immediately, or cool completely and store.
Notes
- Storage
- Leftover glaze should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and used within 1 week.
- Before storing, make sure the glaze is cooled to room temperature.
- Freezing
- For longer storage, whiskey glaze can be frozen!
- Make sure the glaze has cooled to room temperature, then transfer to freezer-safe container, label it with the date, and freeze for up to 3 months.
- Recipe makes between 1 and 1 1/2 cups once reduced down. For serving size I estimate about 1-2 Tbsp per person, but feel free to serve this how you'd like.
