Instructions
- Add bacon to a large skillet over medium heat. Spread it out in a single layer and cook for 12-14 minutes, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, line a plate with a paper towel. Once bacon is fully cooked and crispy, remove it from the pan and place on the paper towel-lined plate to drain. Remove all but 1 tablespoon of bacon grease from the skillet.
- Add butter and onions to the skillet. Cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring every few minutes, or until onions are golden brown and caramelized.
- Add the bacon back to the skillet and stir in the brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, salt, and cayenne pepper. Reduce heat to low and continue simmering for 8-10 minutes, or until thickened and reaches a jam-like consistency.
- Allow to cool to room temperature before storing in a glass jar in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Notes
- Onions: Be sure to choose a sweet variety for the best flavor.
- Timing and Temp: Don't rush the process or use too high of a temperature.
- Yield: 1 ½ cups bacon jam. Serving size is roughly 2 tablespoons.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
