  1. Heat a large pot to medium heat and add bacon. Cook until nearly crisp and brown. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to cool. Do not drain the bacon grease.
  2. Cook the onions in the pot with the bacon fat about 5 minutes to soften.
  3. Add garlic and serrano peppers and stir. Cook about 2 minutes.
  4. Add the remaining ingredients and stir. Bring the mixture to a boil reduce heat to a simmer.
  5. Chop the bacon and add it into the pot.
  6. Cook low and slow for about 2 hours, stirring every now and then. A thick jam will form. Also, you can use a slow cooker to achieve the same results.
  7. When it is nice and gooey and consistent, transfer it to a food processor and process until jammy.
  8. Cool then transfer to containers for serving or storage.
