Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 small yellow or white onions, diced (about 2 cups)
1 c strong black coffee
1 c worcestershire sauce
1 c ketchup
1/2 c apple cider vinegar
1/2 c packed dark brown sugar (light brown sugar will do okay)
2 large jalapeƱo chiles, minced
3 Tbsp chili powder (mild, medium or hot, your choice)
2 Tbsp kosher salt
6 clove garlic, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • 1. In a saucepan over medium high heat, combine the onions, coffee, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar, jalapeƱos, chili powder, salt, and garlic. Stirring often, bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat. Stirring regularly, simmer the sauce until it reduces by 1/2, about 25 minutes. Strain the sauce or puree it in a blender or food processor. Allow it to cool to room temperature and then refrigerate it for 8 hours to allow the flavors to fester. Refrigerate between uses.
