Ingredients
8 Servings
- 60 ml apple cider vinegar
- 450 g bacon
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 100 g brown sugar
- 0.5 tsp cayenne pepper
- 4 cloves garlic
- 60 ml maple syrup
- 120 ml strong brewed coffee
- 2 yellow onions
Directions
Step 1
Cook the diced bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Step 2
Remove all but 2 tablespoons of bacon fat from the skillet. Add the chopped onions and cook until they are soft and translucent, about 10 minutes.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Step 4
Stir in the brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, brewed coffee, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
Step 5
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 35-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to a jam-like consistency.
Step 6
Return the cooked bacon to the skillet and stir to combine. Continue to simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
Step 7
Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Transfer the mixture to a food processor and pulse a few times until it reaches your desired consistency.
Step 8
Store the bacon jam in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
