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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Stir the mixture over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely and the glaze begins to simmer.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to form a slurry. Slowly add the slurry to the saucepan, stirring constantly.

Step 4

Allow the mixture to simmer for 3-5 minutes until it thickens into a glaze-like consistency.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

For use as a finishing glaze, brush it generously onto grilled, roasted, or baked dishes during the final minutes of cooking.
