Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
Cook Bacon
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy, about 10-15 minutes. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat. Reserve about 2 tablespoons of bacon fat in the skillet.
Combine Ingredients
Chop the cooked bacon into small pieces and add it back to the skillet. Stir in brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and water. Mix well.
Simmer
Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low. Allow it to simmer uncovered for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and becomes jam-like.
Blend
Once the mixture has thickened, remove it from heat and let it cool slightly. Transfer it to a food processor and pulse until it reaches your desired consistency (smooth or chunky).
Store
Transfer the bacon jam to a clean jar and let it cool completely before sealing. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
