minutesIngredients
1 Lb thick cut bacon, chopped into small pieces
2 medium yellow onions, chopped
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup strong coffee (brewed)
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dry thyme
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Directions
- Cook bacon pieces in skillet for about 10 minutes on medium heat. Bacon should be tender and just short of crispy.
- Remove bacon from skillet. Remove all but 1 Tablespoon of bacon fat from skillet. Cook onions on medium-low heat until caramelized (about 20 minutes). Add a small amount of the coffee if pan gets too dry.
- Add bacon back to the skillet. Stir in remaining ingredients. Bring everything up to a boil before reducing heat to a simmer. Simmer on very low for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until almost all liquid is cooked out.
- Optionally, you can puree the mixture with an immersion blender or food processor if you want the jam very smooth.
- Serve. Store in refrigerator for up to 1 week in an airtight container.
