Provided by Susan52

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

10 roma/plum tomatoes, cut in half lengthwise
1 tablespoon oil
1 pound thick smoked bacon, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 large onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1/4 cup cider vinegar
3/4 cup coffee, brewed
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup
1-2 chipotle chilies in adobo, chopped or Sriracha to taste, optional
1/2 teaspoon cumin
pepper to taste

Steps:

Place the tomatoes on a baking sheet with the cut side up, spray, brush or drizzle them with oil and roast in a preheated 250F oven until the are starting to caramelize and shrivel but are still juicy, about 2 hours. Cook the bacon in a large sauce pan an over medium 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 cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about a minute. Add the vinegar and deglaze the pan. Add the coffee, brown sugar, maple syrup, bacon, chipotle chilies, cumin, pepper and tomatoes, 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 to the desired texture. If you do not finish it all in one sitting, store it in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 4 weeks.

Tips:

Select ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This will ensure the best flavor for your jam. Roma tomatoes are a good choice, as they have a low water content and will cook down nicely.
Roast the tomatoes before making the jam. This will concentrate their flavor and make them easier to spread.
Use a variety of bacon. Different types of bacon will give your jam different flavors. For example, applewood smoked bacon will give it a smoky flavor, while peppered bacon will give it a spicy kick.
Add other ingredients to taste. You can add a variety of other ingredients to your jam to customize it to your liking. Some popular additions include onions, garlic, peppers, and herbs.
Cook the jam until it reaches the desired consistency. You can cook it until it is thick and spreadable, or you can cook it until it is thick and caramelized.

Conclusion:
