Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • ½ cup water
  • ¼ cup apple juice
  • ¼ cup orange juice
  • ¼ cup pineapple juice
  • 3 tablespoons light corn syrup
  • cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 3 tablespoons water
I always use Kosher salt in my kitchen! If using table salt, start with half the amount and adjust to taste, as it is much "saltier" by volume.

Instructions
 

  • In a medium pan combine the soy sauce, water, apple juice, orange juice and the pineapple juice. Bring to a simmer.
  • While the soy sauce mixture is heating up, in a small bowl mix together the cornstarch and water.  This is the cornstarch slurry that will be used to thicken the sauce.
  • Bring to a simmer then whisk in the ⅓ cup plus the 2 tablespoons of sugar and corn syrup. Whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved. Bring the mixture to a boil and whisk in the cornstarch slurry. Boil for 1 minute while whisking rapidly. Remove from the heat and the sauce is ready to use.

Notes

This recipe makes approximately 1 ¾ cup of Teriyaki Sauce.
The corn syrup can be replace with honey if needed.
