Copycat T.G.I. Friday’s Grill Glaze

Preheat oven to 325 F.

Slice a 1/2″ off the top of the garlic head. Cut off a small slice of the root end so that the heat will sit flat. Take off some of the outer layers of skin but leave enough to hold the head together. Drizzle with olive oil and wrap in foil. Bake it in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Then remove it from the oven and let it cool enough to be able to handle. Then unwrap it and squeeze the garlic paste into a small bowl and set aside.

Add the water, pineapple juice, teriyaki sauce, soy sauce and brown sugar to a medium pan over medium high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil stirring occasionally. Once it boils reduce heat to a simmer. Whisk the garlic and then the remaining ingredients into the pan. Let it simmer for 40-50 minutes or until sauce is reduced by half. It should be thick and syrupy and coat the back of a wooden spoon.
