Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine pineapple juice, peach preserves, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, sriracha, grated ginger, and minced garlic.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and whisk the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and the sugar has dissolved.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry.
Step 4
Slowly whisk the cornstarch slurry into the saucepan to thicken the glaze.
Step 5
Bring the glaze to a gentle simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the glaze cool for a few minutes before using.
Step 7
Brush the spicy fruit glaze over grilled meats, vegetables, or tofu during the final minutes of grilling to allow it to caramelize slightly.
