Coffee is a really underrated ingredient for BBQ. The dark, bitter flavor works beautifully with the sweet brown sugar and spices in this sauce recipe. Just make sure to use really strong coffee to get the right impact without watering down the sauce.


serves/makes:
  
ready in:
  2-5 hrs

ingredients

2 cups brewed strong, dark coffee or espresso
2 cups ketchup
1 cup chicken or beef broth
1 cup cider vinegar
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
2 cups chopped onion
4 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
1 jalapeno pepper, stem removed, split, and seeded (use more if desired)
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons ground cumin
3 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons dry mustard

directions

Combine the coffee, ketchup, broth, vinegar, brown sugar, onion, garlic, jalapeno, Worcestershire, cumin, chili powder and dry mustard in the crock pot. Mix well

Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 4-6 hours or until the mixture is very thick.

Let the barbecue sauce cool then transfer to a blender and puree until smooth. You can also use a hand blender.

Use immediately or store the barbecue sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
