Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil or vegetable oil
• ½ cup medium onion, minced (white onion preferred)
• 2 cups brewed coffee
• ¼ cup brown sugar or turbinado sugar
• 1 tablespoon honey or light molasses
• 2-3 teaspoons Dirty Gringo rub
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon Kosher salt or coarse sea salt
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Directions

1. Warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once warm, stir in the onion. Cook the onion for about 5 minutes until it begins to soften.
2. Add together everything except for the butter. Simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes, until the mixture is reduced.
3. Whisk in the butter until smooth.
4. Remove the mixture from heat, and serve warm with pork. You can store this in an air-tight container in the fridge for 1-2 weeks, but reheat on the stove before using.
