Bacon Jam Recipe

Bacon Jam Preparation

1. 1

   Cook the Bacon

   In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet, and set aside on paper towels to drain.

2. 2

   Sauté the Onion

   In the same skillet, add olive oil if needed, then add the chopped onion. Sauté over medium heat until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

3. 3

   Combine Ingredients

   Crumble the cooked bacon and return it to the skillet with the onions. Stir in the brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, black pepper, and salt.

4. 4

   Simmer the Jam

   Reduce heat to low and let the mixture simmer, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to a jam-like consistency, about 20-25 minutes.

5. 5

   Blend (Optional)

   If a smoother texture is desired, use an immersion blender to blend the mixture to your liking.

6. 6

   Cool and Store

   Let the bacon jam cool. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
