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

Roasted 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 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).
Sauce:
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.
Squeeze the sides of the head of garlic until the roasted garlic is squeezed out. Add remaining ingredients to the pan and stir.
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.

Questions & Replies

Hi the sauce sounds great! I'm wondering how long it would last in fridge so I know how much to make! :)

if I made the Friday's Jack Daniels sauce, how long can I keep it refrigerated?

This recipe is amazing and is incredibly close to what they serve at TGI Fridays. It is good on EVERYTHING!! A couple of tweaks I made - double the amount of Jack Daniels, double the amount of crushed pineapple, and definitely cut the amount of cayenne pepper in half. Be sure to allow time for the sauce to reduce or it will be runny. Reducing also intensifies the flavor. Amazing recipe!!!

Tastes amazing! Some reviews complain about being too much work, but it is easy, just a little time consuming. The good thing is it does not require a lot of babysitting. Almost exactly like TGIFriday's, but a little spicier. I doubled the recipe so it will last longer and it worked out really well. I highly recommend this sauce/glaze!

This is it! Look no further for a copycat recipe! True, this is a little time consuming, but so worth it, IMO. I also like to double it and use it on grilled chicken and shrimp! I like to make it a day ahead of time so the flavors blend together and let the sauce thicken up a bit. I discovered that it tastes the same whether or not you use the real JD's (I have made it both ways), in case you don't want to spend the $ on the real stuff...of course, then it's not JACK DANIELS sauce, but whatever :)
