Ingredients
- 2 Pounds Bacon
- 1 ½ Cups Red Onion
- 4 Garlic
- 1 Cup Brown Sugar
- 1/4 Cup Red Wine Vinegar
- 2 TBS Balsamic Vinegar
- 1/4 Cup Water
- 6 Fresh Thyme
- 1 Tbsp Black Pepper
- 1 Tbsp Maple Syrup
Instructions
- Chop your bacon and fry until almost crispy, stirring frequently.
- Remove all bacon oil except for about ½ TBS.
- Add the onions and sauté for about 5 minutes.
- Next, add the garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring continuously.
- Combine brown sugar, vinegars, and water. Stir and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Add the thyme sprigs and pepper, and simmer for another few minutes, stirring frequently and being careful not to burn.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Remove the thyme sprigs and let the mixture cool.
- You can then pulse the jam a few times in your food processor to get a finer texture, or leave it as is. It's up to you.
- Once totally cooled, place in sealed jars in the refrigerator for up to three weeks.
- Heat it up a little to enjoy with whatever you prefer. If the jam becomes too thick after reheating, add about a TBS of water.
