Bacon Jam
Took some home smoked bacon and mad some bacon jam.
Ingredients Sliced bacon and then cut into 3/4 - 1" pieces Brown bacon over medium-high, stirring occasionally, until most of the fat is rendered off. Drain the bacon and save the bacon grease for cooking other stuff. Chop onions and cook in a tablespoon of bacon grease until they start getting translucent. Combine all the remaining ingredients and cook on high, uncovered, until liquid is syrupy, 4-5 hours. Here is is reduced and thickened Transfer to food processor and give a few pulses Put in air tight containers Store in fridge for up to 4 weeks. Recipe I used: • 2.5 pounds sliced bacon, cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces • 3 large yellow onions, diced • 2 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled ( I used granulated as I was out of fresh) • 3/4 cup cider vinegar • 1 cup packed dark-brown sugar • 3/4 cup pure maple syrup • 1 1/2 cup brewed coffee • 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper • Pinch or two of red pepper flakes I did it all in a slow cooker so not as much clean up or tending. Think it would be great on a burger or grilled cheese. Tried it on crackers and it was super! Next time I will use store bought bacon, I doubt it paid to use good bacon for this. |
