Crushed pineapple gives the sauce a slightly tangy sweetness, that is perfectly balanced by the whiskey. This makes enough sauce for 1 pound of seitan, tofu, tempeh, or 6 large portobello mushrooms. For the photo, I used marinated seitan, which was smoked for yet another layer of flavor. The sauce freezes well, so double the batch for easy summer eating.
