Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb smoked bacon, add liquid smoke if you like
4 clove garlic, chopped
1 medium onion, sliced
3 Tbsp brown sugar, firmly packed
tabasco sauce according to taste
1 c strong coffee
1/4 c apple cider vinegar
1/4 c maple syrup
salt and pepper
extra water

Steps:

  • 1. In a non-stick pan, fry the bacon in batches until lightly browned and beginning to crisp. Using a pair of scissors cut into 1-inch pieces.
  • 2. Fry the onion and garlic in the rendered bacon fat on medium heat until translucent.
  • 3. Transfer the bacon, onion and garlic into a heavy based cast iron pot and add the rest of the ingredients except for the water.
  • 4. Simmer for 2 hours adding 1/4 of a cup of water every 25-30 minutes or so and stirring.
  • 5. When ready, cool for about 15-20 minutes and then place in a food processor.
  • 6. Pulse for 2-3 seconds so that you leave some texture to the "jam" or of course you could keep whizzing and make it a smoother and more paste-like.
