Bacon Jam
Report
Salty, sweet, bitter, and a bit of spicy blend together to create this thick, spreadable, savory bacon jam.
Share:
Ingredients
- 1 pound Bacon
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1 shallot, finely chopped
- ¼ cup Lakanto Classic or equivalent sweetener
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup strong brewed black coffee
- 3 tablespoons ChocZero maple syrup (personal choice on THM), Wholesome Yum keto maple syrup, OR homemade maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons raw apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoons unsulphured blackstrap molasses
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum, optional
Instructions
- Cut the bacon into ½-inch chunks (kitchen sheers or scissors make this easier). Cook in a small to medium saucepan over medium heat until thoroughly cooked but not completely crispy.
- Remove the bacon from the pan and set it aside atop some paper towels to drain. Discard (or save for later) all the bacon fat except about a tablespoon worth.
- Add the onion, shallot, and sweetener. Sauté over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the onions are golden brown and caramelized.
- Add the garlic and sauté another 2 minutes or until the garlic is lightly toasted.
- Return the bacon to the pan. Add the remaining ingredients except the xanthan gum and stir together.
- Allow to simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has reduced by half (about 30 minutes, give or take).
- Remove from the heat. If the jam isn't as thick as you'd like it to be, dust the xanthan gum over the top then stir it in.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge. Heat before using.
