The Ultimate Bacon Jam Recipe
- 2 yellow onions, diced
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
- 2 pounds cooked bacon, crumbled
- Salt & Pepper to taste
- 1 cup dark beer
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- Place bacon on 2 tin foil lined baking trays and cook on 400 F for 20 to 25 minutes. You want this pretty crispy but not burnt. Place cooked bacon on paper lined dish. Reserve the bacon grease.
- In a skillet, saute onions in bacon grease until they have a nice aroma and are a nice golden color ( about 10 minutes)
- Add the brown sugar, honey, red pepper flakes, and red wine vinegar. Stir until mixed. Sprinkle some salt and pepper.
- Then add the crumbled bacon and stir. Next add the beer ( you can also use water )
- Cook for about 15 minutes, until the bacon is a nice dark brown color and the sauce is jam consistency. Adjust flavors to your liking ( sweeter? add more honey, spicier? add more pepper flakes etc..)
- Allow the jam to cool a bit and transfer to serving dish or canning jar. You can keep refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.
- If it isn't to the consistency you want it. What I do is put the jam into the food processor and grind until you want it.
