Pineapple Teriyaki Sauce

Name: Pineapple Teriyaki Sauce
Prep time: 15 min
Total time: 45 min
Ingredients: 2 cups fresh pineapple (peeled, cored, and chopped); 3 cloves garlic (minced); 3-inch piece fresh ginger (peeled and roughly chopped); 1 cup tamari; ¾ cup real maple syrup; ½ cup water

Fresh pineapple keeps this teriyaki lively rather than syrupy, even with a little maple in the blend. Its ginger-garlic bite works when the sauce is brushed on at the very end of cooking.

Butter Club Notes

I like this teriyaki because it tastes fresh instead of overly sweet. The pineapple does more than add sweetness—it gives the sauce a brightness that bottled teriyaki just doesn't have. Between the ginger, garlic, tamari, and maple syrup, everything stays balanced without becoming syrupy. It's one of those sauces that's just as good as a marinade as it is brushed over food at the very end of cooking.
