Bourbon Bacon Jam

by Judy

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

For all you bacon lovers out there, this recipe is for you!  BOURBON BACON JAM is excellent on all sorts of tasty treats.  Try it on a sandwich or burger.  Or, like we did today,  just spread it on some crackers for a little appetizer with our cocktails. I love making this as an addition to my charcuterie tray when entertaining.  It’s a delicious appetizer that everyone loves!

Gather your ingredients and let’s get cooking!

Bourbon Bacon Jam

Print Recipe
  • Category: Appetizer

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb. thick sliced bacon, large diced
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 C. apple cider vinegar
  • 3/4 C. coffee
  • 1/4 C. maple syrup
  • 1/4 C. bourbon
  • 1/4 C. brown sugar
  • 1 chipotle chili in adobo, chopped*
  • 1/2 tsp. cumin
  • 1/4 tsp. black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, cook bacon until it starts to get crispy (don’t overcook it). Remove bacon from pan and set aside. Drain fat but leave about 1-2 Tbls. in pan.
  2. Add onions and sauté until softened. Add garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
  3. Add cider vinegar and stir to deglaze the pan. Stir in remaining ingredients, lower heat and simmer an hour or so until thickened to syrup consistency.
  4. Lightly process in food processor to desired texture (don’t make it too smooth!)

Notes

* Buy a can of Chipotle Chiles in Adobo and puree them in a blender.  Drop a spoonful of blended chiles on a cookie sheet and freeze. When a recipe calls for chipotle chiles, grab one frozen chile ball from the freezer and thaw for the recipe. Works perfectly!
