Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 cup pineapple juice
• 1 head garlic
• 1 tablespoon bourbon whiskey
• 3 tablespoons minced white onion
• 1 tablespoon crushed pineapple
• 0.66666668653488 cup water
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 0.25 cup teriyaki sauce
• 1.3333333730698 cups dark brown sugar

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Step 2

Roast garlic in the preheated oven until cloves are soft and fragrant, about 1 hour.

Step 3

Stir brown sugar, pineapple juice, water, teriyaki sauce, and soy sauce together in a saucepan and bring to a boil; reduce heat to low and keep at a simmer.

Step 4

Stir lemon juice, onion, bourbon whiskey, pineapple, and cayenne pepper into sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook until liquid reduces by half and turns thick and syrup-like, 40 to 50 minutes.

Step 5

Cut about 1/2-inch off top of garlic head. Trim root, so garlic sits flat. Remove outer layers of papery skin, leaving enough so cloves remain intact.

Step 6

Place garlic into a small baking dish, drizzle olive oil on top, and cover with a lid or aluminum foil.

Step 7

Squeeze sides of garlic until pasty roasted garlic emerges.

Step 8

Measure 2 teaspoons roasted garlic into the saucepan and whisk until incorporated. Reserve remaining roasted garlic for another use.
