TGI FRIDAY’S JACK DANIELS BBQ SAUCE RECIPE
head of garlic
1 TBS olive oil
2/3 cups water
1 cup pineapple juice
1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
1 TBS soy sauce
1-1/3 cups dark brown sugar
3 TBS lemon juice
3 TBS minced white onion
1 TBS Jack Daniel’s whiskey (or more)
1 TBS crushed pineapple
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
Cut 1/2 inch off the top of garlic and cut off the roots so the garlic will sit flat. Remove the papery skin but leave enough so the cloves stay together. Put garlic into a small casserole dish, drizzle olive oil over it and cover with lid or foil. To roast the garlic, bake in a preheated 325 degree oven for 1 hour. Remove garlic and let cool until you can handle it.
In a medium saucepan, combine water, pineapple juice, teriyaki sauce, soy sauce and dark brown sugar over medium/high heat. Stir occasionally until mixture boils, then reduce heat until mixture is just simmering.
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. Add the remaining ingredients to the pan and stir.
Let the mixture simmer for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced by half in size and is thick and syrupy. Make sure it doesn’t boil over.
Makes one cup of glaze.
