Peach Bacon Jam
Description
This Peach Bacon Jam recipe starts by frying diced bacon until crisp, leaving rendered fat with half removed for balanced flavor. Onions are cooked in the bacon fat until golden, contributing sweetness and depth. Peeled, pitted, and diced peaches join the pot alongside dark brown sugar, maple syrup, balsamic and apple cider vinegars, thyme sprigs, salt, and pepper. The mixture is brought to a boil, then simmered uncovered for 35-45 minutes, stirring occasionally to develop a thick, spreadable consistency and deep brown color.
The final product combines the savory smokiness of bacon with the fruity sweetness of peaches and the tang of vinegars, balanced by brown sugar and maple syrup. The texture is thick with small tender pieces, suitable as a jam or relish.
Peach Bacon Jam should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and is best served at room temperature to maximize flavor and spreadability. The recipe discards thyme sprigs after cooking to avoid herb grit.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Bacon thick-sliced, diced
- 1 yellow onion medium, chopped
- 2 peach large ripe, peeled, pitted and diced
- 1/4 cup dark brown sugar packed
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar dark
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 1/2 teaspoon salt sea salt
- 2 thyme sprigs, fresh
Instructions
- In a medium-sized heavy pot (e.g., Dutch oven) fry the bacon until crispy. Remove half of the bacon fat. Add the onions and cook until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 35-45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it's a rich brown and a spreadable consistency. Discard the thyme sprigs.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge. Will keep for up to two weeks. Best served at room temperature so let it sit out for a few minutes before serving.
