Bacon + Onion + Apple Jam

• 1.5 pounds bacon
• 2 sweet onions, diced
• 2 Gala apples, diced
• 3/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1/2-3/4 cups brown sugar
• 1/4 cup REAL maple syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more to taste)
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1. Fry up your bacon in a big ole skillet. *I like to pop it in a cold oven and then turn it up to 400 degrees for about 15-20 minutes. Perfect bacon overtime but don't forget to lay some tin foil down first!
2. Saute those onions until translucent. Leave about a TBS of bacon grease in skillet or pour some in from your oven pan.
3. Add garlic and apples to onions. Saute about 5-8 minutes, until apples are "softish."
4. Add all remaining ingredients to the pan and bring to a boil.
5. Turn down to a simmer and cook for 45 minutes to an 1 hour. Everything will caramelize and meld together. You want it to be thick and gooey!
6. Optional step: I threw mine in the food processor after I took that last photo and gave it a few pulses until it reached the consistency I wanted. A blender would work, too!
7. EAT and ENJOY! Will keep in refrigerator for approximately 3 weeks.
