Cook the bacon in a large pizza  pan medium 350 indirect feet up heat until the fat has rendered and the bacon starts to get crispy and set aside, reserving 1 tablespoon of the grease in the pan.

Add the onions and saute until tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about a minute.

Add the vinegar and deglaze the pan.

Add the coffee, brown sugar, maple syrup, bourbon, bacon, chipotle chilies, cumin and pepper, balsamic, reduce the heat and simmer until reduced to a syrupy consistency, about 1-2 hours.

Process the jam in a food processor to smooth it out a bit but not too much as you want to have the texture of the bacon.

That looks delisous.Do you know the ph level? Is it suitable for water bath canning or since it contains meat,does it need to be pressure canned for non refridegerated storage? I am sure it would be fine if refridegerated for a few days,just wondering.

McStew's recipe looks alot like Martha Stewart's Slow Cooker recipe, but it looks like McStew added some more heat. 

I found another recipe with similar ingredients at America's Test Kitchen Feed.

This is on my To Do list.

Hoss, Martha says you can refrigerate it for 4 weeks.
