Ingredients
- 1 pound Bacon cut into ¾" pieces
- 1 large Onion diced
- 4 medium Shallots diced
- 2 teaspoons Garlic minced
- ¼ cup Maple Syrup
- ½ cup Brown Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Chili Powder
- 4 Tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the bacon and cook until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the skillet using a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside.
- Remove all but about 3 Tablespoons of bacon grease from the pan, then add the diced onion and shallots. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions are lightly caramelized - about 7-8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another 2-3 minutes until caramelized and fragrant.
- Add the reserved cooked bacon, maple syrup, brown sugar, chili powder, and apple cider vinegar and cook for about 5 minutes until the mixture reaches a jam-like consistency, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and serve warm, or allow to cool and serve room temperature. Bacon Jam can be stored in a jar or another airtight container for up to 3 weeks in the fridge. Enjoy!
