Jack Daniels Bourbon Glaze Recipes

T.G.I. FRIDAY'S® JACK DANIELS® SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Cut about 1/2-inch from the top of the garlic head. Trim the roots so the garlic sits flat. Remove some of the outer layers of papery skin from the garlic, leaving enough so that the cloves stay together. Put garlic into a small casserole dish or baking dish, drizzle olive oil over it, and cover with a lid or aluminum foil.
• Roast garlic in preheated oven until the cloves are soft, about 1 hour.
• 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 simmer.
• Squeeze sides of the garlic until the pasty roasted garlic emerges. Measure 2 teaspoons roasted garlic into the saucepan and incorporate into the sauce with a whisk. Reserve remaining roasted garlic for another use.
• Stir lemon juice, white onion, bourbon whiskey, pineapple, and cayenne pepper into the sauce; bring to a simmer and cook until the volume of the liquid reduces by half and is thick and syrup-like, 40 to 50 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Peel loose paper off the garlic, keeping the whole head together.
• Slice off the top 1/2" of the whole head, exposing the tops of the cloves. Place garlic on a sheet of foil and drizzle the exposed cloves liberally with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Wrap the foil up around the garlic, then place in baking dish and roast for 40-50 minutes. Set aside until cool enough to handle.
• Add pineapple juice, water, teriyaki sauce, soy sauce and brown sugar to a medium saucepan and heat over MED HIGH heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, whisking occasionally, then once lightly boiling, reduce heat to LOW so the mixture is simmering.
• Squeeze roasted garlic cloves out into a small bowl and mash the cloves until smooth. Alternately, you can add the cloves to the saucepan and use a whisk to mash them, but I've found it's difficult to get the garlic as smooth this way.
• Add lemon juice, white onion, whiskey, crushed pineapple and cayenne pepper. Whisk to combine, then adjust heat if needed to keep the sauce simmering steadily.
• Let sauce simmer for 45-50 minutes, until sauce has reduced by about half and is syrupy in texture. Keep an eye on it so that it doesn't boil over. Keep in mind the sauce will thicken a bit more as it cools.
• Set aside to cool a bit, then use immediately, or cool completely and store.
