Ingredients
- 5 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
- 1 large yellow or white onion sliced
- 1 tablespoon butter
- ¼ cup coconut sugar (substitute brown sugar)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- ¼ cup maple syrup
Instructions
- Heat the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onions and cook until starting to caramelize, about 10-15 minutes.
- Add remaining ingredients and stir periodically to ensure the sugar does not burn.
- Simmer until mixture has become thick and glossy (about 10-15 minutes). Remove from heat.
- Let the jam cool and store in a covered jar in the fridge for up to one week.
Notes
- Using a thick cut bacon gives the bacon pieces a slightly chewy texture that is incredible.
- The recipe can easily be doubled, tripled, etc.
- Cut the onions as thin or chunky as you'd like. I t depends on how you prefer the consistency of the jam. I cut them a medium thickness.
- Freezing instructions: Freeze in a freezer safe container for up to 6 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight.
