Directions: |
Directions:Set a dutch oven or large skillet over medium heat. Add bacon and cook, stirring occasionally until it begins to brown, scraping bottom with wooden spoon. With slotted spoon, remove bacon to plate or bowl without draining.
Stir onions and garlic into bacon fat and cook until onions are translucent. Add coffee, vinegar, brown sugar, maple syrup, dijon, worcestershire, cayenne, salt and pepper and bring to boil. Cook, stirring and scraping up any browned bits from bottom of pot. Add bacon, stir to combine and reduce heat to low simmer. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until liquid almost completely evaporates and turns syrupy, 1.5 - 2 hours.
Let concoction cool slightly before transferring to a food processor and pulsing until coarsely chopped. It should be thick and chunky, not a paste.
Spoon into containers. Can be refrigerated for up to 4 weeks. Consume at room temperature or warm gently on stove top or microwave.
Use to the extent imagination permits. Makes EVERYTHING taste better. (It's bacon.) |

Notes: This is a condiment that will enhance anything/everything. Put it on a hot, buttered biscuit, a cracker, a hamburger, a sandwich, a nacho, a duck breast, on fois gras, etc. I'm saying anything you can think of.
Bacon is the most important ingredient. I used a country cured and smoked bacon that, when you opened the package, you could smell the fire. So use the best you can find. But I assure you, regardless of the bacon you use, this will be delicious.
