How long does homemade teriyaki sauce last in the refrigerator?

Absolutely! For a thinner sauce, reduce the amount of cornstarch slurry or add a splash more pineapple juice. For a thicker, more glaze-like consistency, increase the cornstarch slightly or simmer the sauce longer to reduce and concentrate the flavours.
