Instructions
- In a medium skillet, cook the bacon, stirring occasionally, until done and on the verge of crispy, approximately 10 minutes. Remove the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain off fat, reserving about 1 tablespoon of the fat in the pan. Discard the rest and reduce to low heat.
- Add the garlic and shallot directly to the same skillet with rendered bacon fat. Soften for approximately 4-5 minutes. Stir in the brown sugar, vinegar, water, syrup, bourbon and mustard. Simmer on low heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, ir until it starts to thicken and liquids are reduced by about 25%. It will not fully thicken until it starts to cool off-heat.
- Return the cooked bacon to the pan. Remove from the heat and stir well.

Notes
- Bacon jam can be kept in an airtight container for up to 4 weeks, however, allow to come up to room temperature or heat for a few seconds in the microwave before serving or attempting to spread.
- For a smoother jam, pulse the mixture in a food processor until desired consistency.
