Sweet and Savory Burgers

For 8 burgers:

1/4 C. soy sauce

2 Tbsp. light corn syrup

1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice

1/2 tsp. ground ginger

1/4 tsp. garlic powder

2 green onions, thinly sliced

2 lb. ground beef

1/4 C. chili sauce

1/4 C. hot red pepper jelly

8 hamburger buns, toasted

Toppings: grilled sweet onion and pineapple slices

Stir together first 6 ingredients. Reserve 3 Tbsp. mixture; cover and chill. Pour remaining soy sauce mixture into a shallow pan or baking dish.
Shape beef into 8 (1/2-inch-thick) patties; place in a single layer in soy sauce mixture in pan, turning to coat. Cover and chill 4 hours.
Preheat grill to 350° to 400° (medium-high) heat. Remove patties from marinade, discarding marinade. Grill patties, covered with grill lid, 5 minutes on each side or until beef is no longer pink in center, basting occasionally with reserved 3 Tbsp. soy sauce mixture.

Stir together chili sauce and jelly. Serve burgers on buns with chili sauce mixture and desired toppings.
