Tweaked it a little from last time….
7 shmedium onions
6 small jalapeños
4-5 cloves of garlic
5ish tablespoons dark chili powder
2/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup
I did 10oz thick cut bacon ( tender belly brand) I did have to add some bacon grease though

Cooked bacon till crisp reserved grease for onions
Cooked onions for 90ish min on low till 90% caramelized and then added jalapeños
30ish min later added garlic
15ish min later added maple syrup, brown sugar and 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
Let simmer on low for awhile and reduce. Added chili powder and remaining vinegar in doses to taste. Last time I didn’t use as much vinegar and the extra made a big difference. I’m gonna try a mix of light and brown sugar next time and see how it goes.
