Honey Ginger Teriyaki Sauce

This can be used to marinate meat, chicken or pork would be best.  I used it with chicken and then drizzled the leftovers onto rice.  It was great!  We gave it 4 stars, yup that's right, not a 5 star rating.  The reason being, it just simply wasn't lick-your-plate amazing, but it was good.  =) It is so easy I would make it again.
