2 cups strong coffee
1 cup cider vinegar

Recipe
1. In a 4-quart Dutch oven cook ground beef, green and red sweet
peppers, and onions until meat is brown and vegetables are tender.
Drain off fat.
2. Stir in coffee and vinegar. Bring to boiling. Boil gently,
uncovered, over medium heat for about 40 minutes or until liquid is
almost all evaporated, stirring occasionally. Stir in ketchup, chili
powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and Scotch bonnet or cayenne.
Cook and stir 10 to 15 minutes more or until desired consistency. Keep
hot while transporting. If desired, toast buns. Serve meat in buns.
Makes 14 to 16 servings.
* NOTE: Because hot chile peppers contain volatile oils that can burn
your skin and eyes, avoid direct contact with chiles as much as
possible. When working with chile peppers wear plastic or rubber
gloves. If your bare hands do touch the chile peppers, wash
your hands well with soap and water.
