In the simmer process right now. My house smells goooooood!

Ok. Major alteration. I kept tasting it as it simmered.....it was coffee jam with a bit of bacon flavor, so I added 1 cup of cranberry/pomegranate juice and let that reduce down. Muchbetter! I think the extra summer time released some bacon flavor as well. It tamed down the coffee flavors as well.

I had that same thing too as i let it simmer. Mine took nearly 4 hours to complete reduce down. By that time the coffee flavor had subsided, blending nicely with the rest of the ingredients.
