Ingredients
- 12 oz bacon cut into 1/2 inch pieces
- 1/2 onion finely diced
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 1/4 C honey can substitute maple syrup
- 1 tsp molasses
- 1/4 C balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 C water
- 3/4 C dark brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/3 C bourbon whiskey
Instructions
- In a medium skillet on low/medium heat, cook bacon, until close to done (8-10 minutes). Remove bacon; place on paper towel-lined plate. Retain all but 1 Tbsp of the fat in the pan (discard the remainder).
- To the bacon fat you held back, add the onion and garlic. Sauce 3-4 minutes or until softened.
- Add remaining ingredients (to include the bacon you set aside). Simmer on low heat, 10-15 minutes. As the jam cooks, the water should evaporate and the jam should start to thicken and get more syrupy. The jam will thicken slightly as it cools, too.
- Once the jam reaches your desired consistency, spoon into each of 2 pint jars. Top with lid and ring. Allow to cool, then refrigerate.
- To serve: Remove from the refrigerator. Heat slightly in the microwave before spreading. Once refrigerated, bacon can last up to 3 weeks.
