Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 0.25 cup dark rum
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the pineapple juice, dark rum, brown sugar, freshly grated ginger, soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes.
Stir the mixture over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely and the glaze begins to simmer.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to form a slurry. Slowly add the slurry to the saucepan, stirring constantly.
Allow the mixture to simmer for 3-5 minutes until it thickens into a glaze-like consistency.
Remove the glaze from heat and let it cool. Use immediately as a marinade or glaze, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
For use as a marinade, coat your chosen protein or vegetables evenly with the glaze, and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
For use as a finishing glaze, brush it generously onto grilled, roasted, or baked dishes during the final minutes of cooking.
