Bacon Jam
Bacon Jam combines smoked bacon, onions, brown sugar, honey, butter, and coffee plus spices and other seasonings to create a luscious spread. You’re going to love it!
Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds cherry wood smoked bacon, diced into 1/2 inch pieces
2 cups sweet onion, diced large
1 cup red onion, diced large
1/2 cup shallots, diced large
2 tablespoons fresh garlic, minced
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup honey or granulated sugar
1/2 cup strong brewed coffee
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup bourbon whisky
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Dash of your favorite hot sauce
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
Instructions
- In a medium heavy bottomed pot, turn heat to medium high heat and add bacon.
- Cook bacon until crisp, stirring often. Use a small spider to remove cooked bacon to a bowl.
- Pour off all but ¼ cup of the bacon fat and keep heat at medium high. Discard remaining bacon fat.
- Add sweet onion, red onion, shallots, and garlic and cook for three minutes.
- Add cooked bacon back in along with all other jam ingredients and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
- Simmer uncovered for 30-35 minutes until a syrupy consistency.
- Either use a blender or an immersion blender and pulse 5-6 times just to break up big pieces and blend the jam. The consistency should be somewhat thick and chunky and stand up on a spoon.
- Chill for up to two weeks.
- Serve warm over burgers, over polenta, with other grilled meats or spread on toast.
