Recipe: T.G.I. Fridays Jack Daniels Grill Glaze

T.G.I. FRIDAYS JACK DANIELS GRILL GLAZE

ROASTED GARLIC:
1 head garlic
1 teaspoon olive oil
GLAZE:
1 1/3 cups dark brown sugar
1 cup pineapple juice
2/3 cup water
1/4 cup Kikkoman's teriyaki sauce
1 teaspoon soy sauce
3 teaspoons lemon juice
3 teaspoons minced white onions
1 teaspoon crushed pineapple
1 teaspoon Jack Daniels Whiskey
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

ROAST GARLIC:
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 in a small casserole dish or baking pan, drizzle with olive oil and cover with a lid or foil. Bake in a preheated 325 degree oven for 1 hour. Remove and let it cool until you can handle it.

FOR GLAZE:
Combine brown sugar, pineapple juice, water, teriyaki sauce, soy sauce and in a saucepan over medium high heat. Stir occasionally until mixture boils, then reduce heat to simmer.

Add remaining ingredients to pan and stir.

Squeeze out 2 t of roasted garlic and whisk to combine with pan mixture.

Let simmer for 35-45 minutes or until sauce has reduced by 1/2 and is thick and syrupy. Make sure it doesn't boil over.

To use, grill meat until almost done, then use the glaze otherwise it will burn.
