Firey Ginger Pineapple Wing Sauce

Firey Ginger Pineapple Wing Sauce
Sweet, salty, tangy, spicy.  Damn good on wings, but also just as amazing on grilled pork chops.

1 can pineapple juice concentrate
½ c packed dark brown sugar
¼ c dark corn syrup
3 T soy sauce
1 ½ t ground ginger
1 t granulated garlic
½ t dried chili flakes
½ t black pepper 

First do this:
In a medium sauce pan over medium heat, combine all of the ingredients.  Cook about 8-10 minutes, until the sauce is slightly thickened, stirring intermittently.  Keep warm until ready to use.
 
Then do this:
Toss over a batch of Crunchy Baked Chicken Wings, serve immediately.

Eat it like this:
With your fingers, a bunch of napkins, and a cold beer.

If you’re goin’ rogue:
Sorry, I can’t condone going rogue on this sauce.  You will understand in time, grasshoppah.

Keep this in mind:
This sauce has a very high sugar content.  Do not let it boil too hard or reduce too far, or you will end up with salty, tangy, spicy caramel.  Not what we are going for here.

If you want to taste this while it is cooking, spoon a little bit of it onto a plate and allow it to cool a minute or two before tasting.  Boiling sugar is like napalm, and you DO NOT want that kind of burn on the roof of your mouth!
