Paleo Bacon Jam

courtesy of Paleo Mama http://paleomama.com/?cat=4
1 pound of bacon
4 cloves of garlic, minced
3 tbs minced onion
2 chipotles en adobo
2 tsp adobo sauce (from the can)
2 tsp chili powder
½ tsp allspice
½ tsp cocoa powder
½ tsp ground cinnamon
6 oz cup of hot water mixed with 2 tsp espresso powder
¼ cup apple cider vinegar

Cook the bacon until fat is rendered and bacon is slightly crispy but mostly floppy. Don’t worry, you will be cooking the bacon fully later. Cut cooked bacon into fourths. Pour off bacon fat.On medium heat, cook the onion and garlic in one tablespoon of rendered bacon fat in a medium-sized pot for two minutes. Add the cooked bacon, spices, chiles, apple-cider vinegar and coffee.Cover and simmer on low for two hours, stirring every 15 minutes.After two hours, place bacon jam into a food processor, and give 4-6 short pulses. It should be combined but still chunky.Store in jar in the fridge
