How To Make Bacon Jam
Bacon jam is a savory and sweet spread made from caramelized bacon, onions, and spices. It’s the perfect condiment for burgers, sandwiches, or as a topping for breakfast dishes.
Serves:
Ingredients
- 1 lb bacon
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup brewed coffee
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
Instructions
-
Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
-
In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and minced garlic. Cook until the onions are caramelized and golden brown, about 10 minutes.
-
While the onions are cooking, chop the cooked bacon into small pieces.
-
Once the onions are caramelized, add the bacon back to the skillet along with the brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, brewed coffee, maple syrup, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Stir to combine.
-
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until thick and jam-like.
-
Remove from heat and let the bacon jam cool slightly before transferring it to a jar or container.
-
Serve the bacon jam warm or at room temperature as a spread or topping for burgers, sandwiches, or breakfast dishes.
