1 head garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil
2/3 cup water
1 cup pineapple juice
1/4 cup Kikkoman teriyaki sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 1/3 cups dark brown sugar
3 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons white onions -- minced
1 tablespoon Jack Daniels Whiskey
1 tablespoon pineapple -- crushed
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Cut about 1/2-inch off the top of 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 a small casserole dish or baking pan, drizzle olive oil over it, and cover with a lid or foil.

Bake in a preheated 325 degree F. oven for one hour. Remove garlic and let it cool until you can handle it.

Combine water, pineapple, juice, teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, and brown sugar in a medium saucepan over medium high heat. Stir occasionally until mixture boils then reduce heat until mixture is just simmering. Add remaining ingredients to pan and stir.

Squeeze the sides of the head of garlic until the pasty roasted garlic is squeezed out. Measure 2 teaspoons into the saucepan and whisk to combine.
Let mixture simmer for 35-45 minutes or until sauce has reduced by about 1/2 and is thick and syrupy. Make sure it doesn't boil over.
