Bacon Onion Jam
A mix of bacon, carmelized onion and balsamic vingear provides a salty, savory, tangy and a bit sweet jammy spread. Adds a flavor punch to deli sandwiches or drizzled on a salad.
Ingredients
- 8 pieces bacon
- 2 tbsp butter
- 4 medium yellow or sweet onions
- 6 medium shallots
- 1 cup balsamic vinegar
- 6 tbsp brown sugar
- 5 tsp sea salt
- 4 tbsp fresh chives chopped
- 4 tsp fresh thyme chopped
Instructions
- Cook bacon in pan over medium heat until crispy. Set aside bacon but leave drippings in pan.
- Add butter to pan to melt, then add onions and cook for10-12 minutes until soft. Do not stir too much as you want them to start to caramelize. (If you are using premade caramelized onions, just add to pan without butter)
- Add shallots, vinegar, sugar to pan and stir constantly until sugar is dissolved. About 1-2 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low and stir occasionally allowing it to bubble. Cook down for about 20 minutes and it should start getting thick.
- As jam is cooking down, chop up bacon and herbs.
- Remove from heat and add bacon and herbs. Let cool down a bit before pouring into a container.
