Bacon Jam

I know it may sound like an unusual combination, but trust me when I say bacon jam is a game-changer. This sweet and savory spread, made with crispy bacon, caramelized onions, and a touch of maple syrup, can elevate any dish from ordinary to extraordinary. It has a sweet and savory flavor that goes well with so many different foods, from toast and crackers to burgers and sandwiches.

Instructions

  1. Add the bacon to a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel lined plate. Discard all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease.
  2. Add the onions to the reserved bacon grease and cook over medium heat until the onions are translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
  3. Return the bacon to the pan and add the vinegars, brown sugar, maple syrup, water, and thyme, if desired. Cook until bubbling, then reduce the heat to low and cook for 10-15 minutes, until thick and dark.
  4. Transfer to a container and let cool completely before serving or storing in the fridge.
