How to can

Instructions

If I am using this as a marinade I whisk together and just add this as is into a large freezer bag with meat and sit into the fridge (since it will cook later). For a sauce I heat it as directed below:
Whisk all ingredients together. Pour into a small saucepan and bring to a boil on the stovetop just long enough for sugar to dissolve.
Stir, allow to cook down as some of the broth evaporates to thicken. Remove from heat and pour on top of dish immediately or cool completely and then store in a bottle in your fridge. Can to store when cooled for longer.
How to thicken homemade teriyaki sauce; #1 you can just use a bit less broth. If you would like it thicker whisk together 3 tbsp all purpose flour with 3-4 tbsp cool water until you get a smooth paste. OR 1 tbsp arrowroot with 2 tbsp water for a smooth paste OR 1 tbsp cornstarch with 2 tbsp water in a dish. When smooth pour that in and stir consistently, bubbling to thicken. Use immediately for best results if thickener is used.
