BBQ Espresso sauce

I have a huge love for American food, from tex mex in the south to Italian in the north, you cannot beat it. It's pure comfort food.

A few years back, after a slightly insane road trip through the south in hurricane season, I finally stumbled upon what I'd been looking for; a book with a fantastic BBQ espresso sauce recipe,.

It is smoky and tangy and you can virtually do anything with it. I slather it all over slow cooked ribs and the result is as good as any restaurant.

Ingredients 
4 tablespoons olive oil
5 cloves mashed or minced garlic
1 cup of cider vinegar
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 cups of ketchup
2 cups of honey (check taste after 1, I use a bit less)
1/2 cup strong coffee
Pepper
Salt

In a pan, over a medium-high heat drizzle 4 tablespoons of olive oil. Add your garlic (stir to stop burning) and let it cook for around a minute until it turns golden.

Add 1 cup of cider vinegar, 1/2 cup of soy sauce, 2 cups of ketchup and 1-2 cups of honey.  

Throw in the coffee, salt and some pepper and give it a nice stir.

Bring to a low simmer and cook for about 10 minutes. Let cool and store in the fridge for about 2 weeks, It can also be frozen.
