Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 lb bacon Use your favorite kind of bacon for the best flavor.
- 1 large yellow onion Chopped finely.
- 0.5 cup brown sugar Packed.
- 0.5 cup maple syrup For added sweetness.
- 0.5 cup apple cider vinegar Helps balance the flavors.
- 0.25 cup bourbon Choose a smooth bourbon for the best taste.
- 1 tsp black pepper Freshly cracked is best.
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes Adjust according to your heat preference.
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Start by cooking the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until it's nice and crispy. Once done, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain, but keep the drippings in the skillet for flavor.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onions and sauté until they're soft and translucent. This should take around 5-7 minutes.
- Next, crumble the cooked bacon and return it to the skillet with the onions. Add in the brown sugar, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, bourbon, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
- Stir everything together and let it simmer on low heat for about 30-50 minutes, stirring occasionally until it thickens up and looks wonderful.
- Once thickened, remove from heat and let it cool slightly before transferring to jars. This jam can be stored in the fridge for weeks, but it’s so tasty you might finish it quickly!
Notes
This jam is fantastic on burgers, sandwiches, or even served with cream cheese and crackers for a party!
