Bacon Jam

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 ½ pounds bacon
• 2 large Vidalia onions

  chopped finely
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon pepper
• 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
• 2 tablespoons BBQ sauce
• ½ cup maple syrup
• ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
• ½ cup brown sugar

Instructions

• 1 Cook the bacon to desired doneness. I like mine on the crisp side. Transfer to
  paper towels to drain excess fat off. Leave about 1 to 2 tablespoons of bacon
  fat in the pan. Set pan aside to use again.
• 2 Chop onions finely. Toss them in the pan and cook until they start to caramelize
  and turn golden brown. Add garlic, cook for one more minute, or until garlic
  becomes fragrant.
• 3 Add chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, Sriracha sauce and BBQ sauce,
  stir to combine.
• 4 Increase heat to high, add maple syrup, vinegar and brown sugar, cook on medium
  heat for about 3 minutes.
• 5 Using a sharp knife cut the bacon into small pieces. You can also tear it by
  hand. Your choice.
• 6 Toss the bacon back into the pan, reduce heat to low and simmer for about 10
  minutes, the mixture will thicken and look jam.
• 7 Turn off the stove. Drain any excess fat off the bacon jam by pouring it through
  a sieve or use cheesecloth to drain it .
• 8 Transfer to jars for your party. Store in fridge until needed. Will keep for one
  week in fridge.
• 9 To reheat microwave for 1 to 2 minutes.
• 10 Serve with a big old bacon loving smile!
