Ingredients
- 24 oz Bacon 2 packs
- 2 large Onions chopped finely
- 3 clove Garlic
- 1 tsp Chili Powder
- 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
- 1 tbsp Sriracha Sauce
- 2 tbsp BBQ Sauce
- 1/2 cup Maple Syrup
- 1/4 cup Branch and Vine Hickory Balsamic Vinegar
- 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
Instructions
- Start by cooking the bacon to your preferred level of crispiness. Place the cooked bacon on paper towels to remove any excess fat. Save about 1 to 2 tablespoons of bacon fat in the pan, and set the pan aside for later use.
- Finely chop the onions and add them to the pan. Sauté them until they begin to caramelize and take on a golden brown hue. Then, introduce the garlic and continue cooking for another minute until the garlic releases its fragrant aroma.
- Incorporate chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, Sriracha sauce, and BBQ sauce into the mixture, stirring until thoroughly combined.
- Turn up the heat to high, then pour in the maple syrup, vinegar, and brown sugar. Continue cooking over medium heat for approximately 3 minutes.
- Using a sharp knife, chop the bacon into small pieces, or if you prefer, you can tear it by hand—it’s your choice. Return the bacon to the pan, lower the heat to low, and let it simmer for approximately 10 minutes. During this time, the mixture will thicken and take on the appearance of jam.
- Transfer your bacon jam to jars for your party. Store it in the fridge until needed. And there you have it – the ultimate comfort food is ready to elevate your meals to a whole new level. Enjoy!
