Bacon Jam

Method

Bacon Jam Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain.

  2. 2

    Sauté Onions

    In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook in the bacon grease over medium heat until the onions are soft and translucent.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked bacon back into the skillet, along with brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and water.

  4. 4

    Simmer the Jam

    Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 30-40 minutes until the mixture thickens.

  5. 5

    Blend (Optional)

    For a smoother texture, use an immersion blender to blend the jam to your desired consistency.

  6. 6

    Cool and Store

    Let the bacon jam cool to room temperature before transferring it to a jar. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
