Directions
- To prepare sauce: Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and just starting to brown-about 2 to 4 minutes. Add garlic, jalapeño and spices and cook, stirring, until fragrant- about 30 seconds. Add Elderberry Jam, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, both vinegars and coffee. Simmer, partially covered, for 30 minutes, adding more coffee if sauce becomes too dry.
