Got a few requests for my bacon jam recipe, so I thought I'd post it for anyone who's interested. I strongly suggest tasting as you go to tailor the spices to your liking - especially when playing with chili peppers 😉🌶💣💥 And thank you @sarahoh.sarahno for the extra motivation to jot this down! Last, but not least, if you make this, I'd love to know how it worked out for you. Would you please share? ☺ Ingredients: • • 1lb thick-cut bacon, cooked and torn/cut into tiny pieces • 1 large yellow or white onion, finely chopped • At least 4 large cloves of garlic, minced • 1 medium to large shallot, finely chopped • Bourbon, at least 4oz • Apple cider vinegar, at least 4oz • Coffee, at least 4oz • Brown sugar, at least 1 cup • Maple syrup, 1/2 cup • Chili paste or finely chopped chili peppers (to taste) • 1 tsp. Fresh thyme leaves, minced • 1 tsp. Smoked paprika (optional • Salt and pepper (to taste) ▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪ Now for the loosely written instructions... ▪ > In a large frying pan, on medium high heat, sautee the onions in oil or butter and add the shallots and garlic just as the onions begin to turn a golden brown. Immediately reduce heat to low. ▪ > Add the rest of the ingredients and cook on low until the mixture be comes jam-like. Then remove from heat. ▪ > Keep in mind that it will continue to thicken after removed from the heat, so don't let it get too thick. ▪ > As soon as it cools, store in air-tight containers and refrigerate. It can be frozen as well, but keeps in the fridge for about a week. ▪ > Serve it with bread or crackers. Also goes great on burgers, eggs, sandwiches, etc. Enjoy! ☺🍷 • • • • #recipe #bacon #baconlover #baconjam #homecooking #foodbeast #baconporn #deliciousness #foodgasm #eeeeeats #recipeshare #recipeoftheday #baconator #partyideas #condiments #baconmakeseverythingbetter #socialdiner #imadethis
