1/2 cup strong black coffee
1/2 Worcestershire sauce
1/2 ketchup
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 and 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped onion
1/8 cup minced hot chili peppers
3 cloves garlic, minced
  1. Combine all ingredients in a saucepan.  Simmer 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Don't let it burn or stick!
  2. Remove from heat and let cool for about 30 minutes.
  3. Puree in a blender or food processor.  (Don't put the sauce in hot - it will bubble up and can burn you!)
  4. Use immediately or transfer to a jar and refrigerate between uses.  Keeps for about a week in refrigerator.​
