Bacon Jam with Bourbon
Serve with a cheese platter, on sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs, etc. Remember to warm very slightly before serving to melt remaining fat.
Ingredients
- 750 gms bacon diced
- 2 onions finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 cup black coffee
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup bourbon
Instructions
- Fry bacon in large pan, over medium heat until all the fat has rendered out and bacon is browned. Remove bacon and drain on absorbent paper. Pour off fat, leaving a couple of tablespoons in the pan.
- Add onions and cook until translucent, add garlic and cook for another minute or two.
- Return bacon to pan, add remaining ingredients. Bring to boil, stirring, then reduce heat to low simmer and cook until thick and syrupy - about 40-45 minutes.
- Cool and put in sterilised jars. Store in refrigerator for up to 4 weeks.
