Whiskey Bacon Jam
Description
Whiskey Bacon Jam features finely chopped bacon cooked to crispiness, combined with slow-caramelized onions and shallots that add a deep sweetness and texture to the jam. The addition of brown sugar, maple syrup, and apple cider vinegar balances savory and sweet notes, while chili powder provides a subtle spice. The final step includes stirring in whiskey and simmering until the mixture thickens to a jam-like consistency.
The jam's rich texture and savory-sweet flavor profile make it a unique condiment to complement a range of dishes, from enhancing sandwiches and burgers to serving alongside cheese boards. It can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature, though gently reheating after refrigeration is recommended.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Bacon cut into small pieces
- 1 large yellow onion finely chopped into ¼-inch pieces (about 3 cups
- 2 large shallot diced (about 1 cup
- 2 teaspoons garlic minced
- ½ cup brown sugar 100 g
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 3 tablespoons whiskey
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, cook bacon until crispy. While the bacon is cooking, line a plate with a paper towel.
- Place the cooked bacon onto the lined plate. Set aside.
- Leave about 4 tablespoons of bacon grease in the pan, carefully removing the rest.
- To the pan, add the onion and diced shallots. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook until the onions are caramelized, 15-20 minutes, stirring often.
- Mix in the garlic, brown sugar, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, chili powder, and pieces of cooked bacon.
- Remove the pan from heat and add the whiskey. Stir well. Place the pan back on the heat.
- Simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened. It should be about the consistency of a jam.
- Serve warm or at room temperature, but you may want to warm it slightly if it has been refrigerated.
