Maple Bacon Jam
This recipe creates a sweet and savory maple bacon jam that's delicious on burgers, toast, deviled eggs, and more!
Equipment
- 1 Skillet or sauté pan
Ingredients
- 1 8 oz Package bacon chopped into small squares
- 1 med Yellow onion diced
- 2 cloves Garlic minced
- 1 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
- 1 tbsp Coconut aminos
- 1/2 Cup Maple sugar
Instructions
- Cook the Bacon: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until Fat has rendered and bacon is slightly crispy.
- Render Fat: Remove the crispy bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, reserving the bacon fat in the skillet. Should be about 2 tablespoons. You may need to drain some bacon fat if it is more than a couple tablespoons.
- Sauté Aromatics: Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook in the bacon fat until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Combine Ingredients: Stir in the balsamic vinegar, coconut aminos and maple sugar. Bring the mixture to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Simmer and Thicken: Reduce the heat to low, add the cooked bacon back into the skillet, and simmer uncovered for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. The jam is ready when the liquid has reduced significantly and the mixture has thickened into a syrupy, chunky consistency. Remember that the jam will thicken further as it cools.
- Enjoy: Serve warm or at room temperature on your favorite foods. Store leftover jam in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
