Time 4h25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb sliced bacon, good quality
2 yellow onions, chopped
4 fat cloves garlic, minced
3/4 c cider vinegar
1/2 c pure maple syrup
1/4 c bourbon whisky
1/2 c packed dark brown sugar
2 Tbsp honey

Steps:

  • 1. Cut bacon into 2" pieces. Sauté in a large sauce pan over medium heat stirring occasionally until bacon is halfway crispy, 15-20 minutes. Don't cook until bacon is completely crispy.
  • 2. Using a slotted spoon, remove bacon to paper towels leaving approximately 2 tablespoons of grease in the pan.
  • 3. Add onions and garlic to pan. Cook over medium heat until onions are translucent, approximately 5-6 minutes.
  • 4. Add vinegar, syrup, whisky and brown sugar to onion mixture, stirring to combine. Increase heat to medium-high. Cook and stir for approximately two minutes, scraping up the cooked on bits from the bottom of the pan as you stir.
  • 5. Remove from heat. Stir in bacon and honey. Transfer mixture to a 6-8 quart slow cooker. Cook uncovered on high for 3 1/2 -4 hours until mixture is thick and syrupy. Stir occasionally.
  • 6. Transfer mixture to a food processor and pulse until mixture is coarsely and evenly chopped. Let cool. Store in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator. Consistency will thicken to a spreadable jam texture in a few hours. Keeps up to four weeks.

I'm not a big fan of jam, but I'm willing to give this one a try.

I'm allergic to bacon, so I can't try this jam. But it sounds delicious.

This jam is way too expensive. I can buy a jar of regular jam for a fraction of the price.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my jam turned out too runny. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This jam is a little too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think it would be great on a grilled cheese sandwich.

I made this jam for my husband for his birthday and he loved it. He said it was the best jam he's ever had.

This jam is a great way to use up leftover bacon. It's also a great gift idea.

I've tried a lot of bacon jams, but this one is by far the best. The bacon is perfectly crispy and the jam is nice and thick.

This jam is a little bit of work to make, but it's totally worth it. The flavor is out of this world.

This jam is incredible. I can't stop eating it. It's perfect on toast, biscuits, or even just by itself.

I've never been a huge fan of jam, but this bacon bourbon jam is amazing! It's the perfect balance of sweet and savory.

This is, hands down, my new favorite jam. The flavors of bacon, bourbon, and onion are a perfect combination, and the slow cooker makes it so easy to make.
