Ingredients
- 1 lb smoked bacon sliced into small pieces (or use regular bacon and liquid smoke)
- 4 garlic cloves chopped
- 1 medium brown onion sliced
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- Tabasco sauce according to taste and optional
- 1 cup brewed coffee
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- black pepper
- extra water
Instructions
-
In a non stick pan, fry the bacon in batches until lightly browned and beginning to crisp. Fry the onion and garlic in the rendered bacon fat on medium heat until translucent.
-
Transfer the bacon, onion and garlic into a heavy based cast iron pot and add the rest of the ingredients except for the water.
-
Simmer for 2 hours adding 1/4 of a cup of water every 25-30 minutes or so and stirring.
-
When ready, cool for about 15-20 minutes and then place in a food processor. 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.
