Today’s Culinary Adventure: Sweet and Savory Bacon Jam

As the fall season approaches, I find myself craving cozy comfort foods that combine unexpected flavors. That’s why today, I’m excited to share my recipe for Sweet and Savory Bacon Jam. This unique spread is a perfect balance of sweet, salty, and smoky flavors that will elevate any dish it’s paired with.

To begin, gather the following ingredients:

• 200g bacon, diced
• 1 large onion, diced
• 100g brown sugar
• 60ml apple cider vinegar
• 120ml strong black coffee
• 60ml maple syrup
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1/2 tsp salt

In terms of kitchen tools, you’ll need:

• skillet
• wooden spoon
• blender

Start by cooking the diced bacon in a skillet over medium heat until it becomes crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set it aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pan. Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook until caramelized.

Next, return the crispy bacon to the skillet and stir in the brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, black coffee, maple syrup, cayenne pepper, and salt. Allow the mixture to simmer over low heat for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to a jam-like consistency.

Once the jam has cooked down, transfer it to a blender and pulse until it reaches your desired texture. Some prefer a chunky jam, while others may prefer a smoother consistency.

The finished Sweet and Savory Bacon Jam weighs approximately 500g in total and serves 8 people. Each serving is around 60g and packs a flavorful punch with an estimated 150 calories.

To make this version of the dish even more special, consider adding a splash of bourbon to the jam just before blending. This will add a rich depth of flavor that complements the smoky bacon perfectly.

I encourage you to give this recipe a try and make it your own by experimenting with different spices or adding a personal twist. Whether slathered on toast, paired with cheese on a charcuterie board, or dolloped on a burger, this Sweet and Savory Bacon Jam is sure to wow your taste buds. Enjoy!
