Bacon is always delicious, and never more so than in this bacon jam. You can spread it on crackers, or a sandwich, or even eat it by itself. If you enjoy bacon, you’ll enjoy this easy to make treat.
Ingredients
- 1 lb bacon
- 2 medium yellow onions, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup strongly brewed coffee
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
Steps
- Cook the bacon. Preheat oven to 350F. Use a broiling pan or line backing sheet with foil and bake the bacon until lightly browned and crispy. Cooking time may vary, approximately 15-20 minutes. For extra flavor, consider saving the bacon grease for sautéing. Allow bacon to cool and chop into ¾ inch pieces.
- Sauté onion and garlic. Chop onion into ½ inch pieces and heat 2-4 tbs of bacon grease or preferred oil over medium-high heat. Add onions and stir frequently until nearly translucent, about 10 minutes. Add garlic and stir for another 1-2 minutes.
- Add the remaining ingredients and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, lower heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring every 10 minutes. Simmer 1 hour until liquids have reduced to a thick sauce. Let stand about 5 minutes to cool.
- Blend the mixture in a food processor. The jam should be well combined but still chunky when finished.
- Enjoy! You have successfully created bacon jam! After initial enjoyment, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
Tips
- There are many different kinds of bacon. Experiment to see what works best!
- If you are feeling adventurous, try adding something sweet and/or spicy to the mixture right before boiling.
