Source:
| 1 1/2 pounds | sliced bacon of your choice, cut into 1-inch pieces |
| 1 large | sweet onion, diced |
| 1 small | jalapeno, or pepper of your choice, diced |
| 3 | garlic cloves, peeled |
| 1/2 cup | cider vinegar |
| 1/2 cup | packed dark brown sugar |
| 1/4 cup | pure maple syrup |
| 3/4 cup | brewed coffee, any type |
| 1/2 tsp | cayenne pepper |
| 1/2 tsp | cinnamon |
*If you don’t want it spicy, omit the peppers
Cook your bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until just brown. Remove from pan and drain on paper towels. Discard bacon grease, but keep about 1 TBS. Saute onions, garlic and jalapeno in bacon grease until the onions are translucent. Add the vinegar, sugar, maple syrup and brewed coffee and bring to a boil as you stir. Add the bacon, cayenne and cinnamon until well combined. Transfer mixture to a slow-cooker and cook on high for 4-6 hours. You are looking for the liquid to almost disappear and the consistency to be sticky. Transfer to a blender or food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped. It will last in the refrigerator, tightly covered, for up to 4 weeks.
Can be used cold, fresh from the fridge or warmed up and spread however your little bacon-loving heart desires.
