How to cook deliciously - Bourbon Bacon Jam

1. Stage

In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until it's crisp. Remove it and place it on a paper towel-lined plate, saving 2 tablespoons of the bacon drippings.

2. Stage

Cook the shallots and onions in the bacon drippings over medium heat until they're caramelized, stirring occasionally. Add garlic to the pan and cook for about 30 seconds. Then sprinkle in the seasonings.

3. Stage

After removing the caramelized onion mixture from the heat, gently stir in the bourbon and maple syrup. Return the mixture to the heat and bring it to a gentle boil and cook for three minutes, stirring constantly. Add the vinegar and brown sugar and cook for another three minutes, continuing to stir.

4. Stage

Crumble the bacon and add it to the pan with the caramelized onions. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 12 minutes, stirring every few minutes. Remove the jam from the heat and allow it to cool slightly. Pulse half the jam in a food processor until smooth, then stir this puree back into the remaining jam. Serve the jam immediately or refrigerate it first.
