Servings

Gather the ingredients – bacon, bourbon, brown sugar, maple syrup, garlic, apple cider vinegar, and shallots

Place the Dutch oven on the stovetop and heat on medium heat. Use the kitchen scissors and cut the bacon in slices. Add to the heated pan.

As the bacon cooks, separate each piece with the tongs. Keep turning the bacon until all the pieces have crisped up. Remove the bacon as it finishes crisping and place it on a plate lined with paper towels.

Chop the shallots in small pieces. Heat up a large skillet on medium high heat. When it heats up, add the reserved bacon fat. Once that heats up, add the chopped shallots. Sauté.

Add crushed garlic to the shallots and sauté.

Add bourbon, maple syrup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar.

Stir while the sugar melts. Make sure to scrape the bottom of the pan to get all the browned bits.

Bring the mixture to a boil and once it does, lower to the heat and let the mixture simmer until it thickens.

Blot the cooked bacon again with some paper towels and chop the pieces into smaller chunks. Add the bacon to the pan.

Stir together and set aside.

Transfer the bacon onion jam to a jar. Enjoy!
