Bacon Jam

Adapted from Martha Stewart

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs bacon
  • 2 medium yellow onions
  • 3 garlice cloves
  • 1/2 cup cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 3/4 cup brewed coffee

Instructions

  1. Cut up bacon into 1" pieces.

  2. Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium high heat, until bacon is lightly browned or about 20 minutes.

  3. Transfer the bacon to paper towel lined plate to drain.

  4. Chop onions to a small dice. Peel and smash garlic.

  5. Drain off all but about 1 tablespoon of bacon grease and add the chopped onion and smashed garlic.

  6. Cook until the onions are translucent which take about 6 minutes.

  7. Add cider vinegar, brown sugar, maple syrup and coffee. Bring to a boil. Be sure to scrape up any brown bits.

  8. Stir in bacon.

  9. Pour this mixture into a large crockpot. Cook, uncovered, on high for 3 1/2 - 4 hours until liquid has become like syrup.

  10. Transfer the mixture to a food processor and pulse until desired consistency. You want it to be chunky.

  11. Allow to cool and then transfer to a container to refrigerate.
