🥘Ingredients

For the Sauce

1 cup pineapple juice
1/2 cup Jack Daniels whiskey
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon onion powder

👨‍🍳Directions

1In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine pineapple juice, Jack Daniels whiskey, soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, teriyaki sauce, honey, minced garlic, onion powder, and red pepper flakes.
2Whisk until the brown sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth, about 2 minutes.
3Bring the sauce to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered.
4Stir occasionally and cook until the sauce thickens and reduces by about one-third, approximately 20 to 25 minutes.
5The sauce should coat the back of a spoon when done.
6Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool for 5 minutes.
7If desired, strain through a fine mesh strainer to remove any garlic bits for a smoother texture.
8Use immediately as a glaze or dipping sauce, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

📝Notes

For a thicker sauce, simmer an additional 5 to 10 minutes. Adjust sweetness by adding more brown sugar or honey to taste. This sauce works well brushed onto grilled chicken, shrimp, or ribs during the last few minutes of cooking.
