Directions

1Start by making the jam! Heat a heavy bottom skillet over medium high heat, then add the diced bacon.
2Cook for 10-15 mins until crispy with a slight chew.
3Drain and remove from the pan.
4Remove the grease from the pan, but leave the drippings and bits of bacon in there. Then add the diced white onion and saute for 3 mins.
5Then add the coffee, brown sugar, and raspberries and stir to combine.
6Once the berries start to break down, add the salt and pepper, then put the bacon back in the pan.
7Simmer on medium low for 45-50 mins, or until the bacon jam has thickened up.
8Remove and set aside while making the burgers.
9Heat a skillet or griddle over medium high heat, then place down the 75/25 ground beef.
10Then place some of the thinly sliced jalapeños on top before smashing and then season with the jalapeño salt.
11Carefully flip the burgers after about 90 seconds, and then top them off with Havarti cheese.
12Let them cook for 30 more seconds while the cheese melts, then remove.
13To build the burger, grab a pretzel bun and add whipped cream cheese to the bottom.
14Then place down two of the jalapeño patties before covering the top bun in the bacon jam!
15Place the top bun down, and enjoy!
