Smokey Mango-Mustard Barbecue Sauce

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon salted butter
1 slice bacon, minced
1 medium onion, diced
1 large jalapeno pepper, finely chopped (leave in seeds for hotter sauce)
2/3 cup gainy mustard
1 cup mango chutney
1/2 cup white wine vinegar
1/4 cup brewed coffee
Coarse salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions:
Melt butter in medium size, heavy skillet over medium heat.  Add bacon and cook, stirring often, until fat starts to render (about 3 minutes). Add onion and jalapeno.  Cook until bacon is crisp and onion is soft and translucent (3-5 minutes).  Stir in mustard, chutney, vinegar and coffee.  Simmer, uncovered, until sauce is thick and rich (6-10 minutes).  Season with salt and pepper.  Serves 4-6.
