Bourbon Bacon Jam
Ingredients
- 1 lb beef bacon cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1 c diced red onion
- ⅓ c bourbon
- ¼ c real maple syrup
- ¼ c brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
Instructions
- To begin, cut your beef bacon into 1 inch pieces.
- Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until it is golden and slightly crispy. You can do this in two batches if you need to.
- When the bacon is cooked, lift it out with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels.
- Drain of all but about 1 tablespoon of the bacon drippings, leaving all of the brown bits in the skillet.
- Add in the diced onion and cook on low heat until the onions are gorgeously caramelized, about 10-15 minutes.
- Add in the bourbon, maple syrup, brown sugar, and chili powder. Return the bacon to the pan. Bring everything to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer until the liquid is reduced by half. Remove from heat.
- Pour the entire contents of the skillet into your food processor and pulse it a couple times to create a spreadable consistency.
- Use any way your imagination leads you.
- Store leftovers in an air tight container in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks.
