BACON JAM RECIPE PIONEER WOMAN RECIPES

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, cook bacon until crispy. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, reserving about a tablespoon of bacon fat in the pan. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add onion and shallots to the pan and cook, stirring often, until the onions are caramelized, about 15 minutes. Stir in garlic, brown sugar, maple syrup, vinegar, chili powder and cooked bacon. Bring mixture to a simmer then reduce heat to low. Cook until the liquid has reduced and thickened and the onions are jammy, 7 to 10 minutes. Let cool before transferring to a jar. Serve with cheese and crackers. (It’s also delicious on a burger!)

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, cook bacon over medium heat until fat is rendered and bacon is lightly browned, about 2 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to a paper towel. Pour off excess oil from pan and add onions and garlic. Cook over a medium heat, until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes (being careful not to burn the garlic). Add vinegar, brown sugar, maple syrup, and coffee. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Add in cooked bacon and stir to combine. Cook on low for 20 to 30 minutes until thickened. Remove mixture from heat, allow to cool and store in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks.
