Bacon Jam Recipe

Bacon jam is a rich, savory, and slightly sweet spread that pairs beautifully with burgers, crackers, cheese boards, or even scrambled eggs. It's easy to make and delivers a smoky, caramelized flavor in every bite.

Ingredients (Makes about 1 1/2 cups):

  • 1 lb (450g) thick-cut bacon, diced
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) brewed coffee
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup (60g) brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions:

  1. Cook the Bacon:

    • In a large skillet, cook the diced bacon over medium heat until crispy.
    • Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels, leaving about 2 tbsp of bacon fat in the skillet.

  2. Sauté the Onions and Garlic:

    • Add the chopped onions to the skillet and cook in the bacon fat over medium heat until caramelized, about 10-12 minutes.
    • Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.

  3. Deglaze the Pan:

    • Pour in the brewed coffee, apple cider vinegar, and maple syrup.
    • Stir to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

  4. Add the Bacon and Sweeteners:

    • Return the crispy bacon to the skillet.
    • Stir in the brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, and smoked paprika (if using).

  5. Simmer and Reduce:

    • Lower the heat and simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, for about 20-30 minutes, or until thickened to a jam-like consistency.

  6. Blend (Optional):

    • For a smoother texture, transfer the mixture to a food processor and pulse a few times until you reach your desired consistency.

  7. Taste and Adjust:

    • Add salt and pepper to taste.

  8. Store and Serve:

    • Let the bacon jam cool completely, then transfer it to a jar or airtight container.
    • Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Serving Suggestions:

  • Spread on burgers or sandwiches.
  • Serve with crackers and cheese for a quick appetizer.
  • Spoon over scrambled eggs or roasted vegetables.
  • Use as a topping for baked brie or crostini.

Enjoy this sweet, smoky, and savory delight! 🥓✨
