Well I made this last night and all I can say is it is AMAZING! And that's just putting it on what I had on hand -- a Ritz with some cream cheese. Can only imagine how good it's going to be on some bruschetta or my next grilled cheese. My takeaways from it were: 1) it takes a good bit longer than I expected to cook it down to a jam-like consistency (however in my case, that worked well, since I needed that time to pick out all the tiny pieces of bay leaf that I forgot to take out before running it in the food processor); 2 -- be sure to take the bay leaves out of the crock pot!!!; and 3) I made the recipe as written and couldn't detect even the faintest hint of coffee (which I can't stand). I'm going to take this to a meeting tomorrow with some Boursin cheese and Vinta crackers, and can already hear the groans with the first bites. Thanks MJ!
