Maple Bourbon Bacon Jam
Ingredients
1 lb thick cut peppered bacon
1/2 red onion, diced
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons dark coffee, finely ground
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup Bourbon
Instructions
1.Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
2.Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and lay the bacon sliced on the sheet. If the bacon doesn't fit, use 2 baking sheets.
3.Place in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes or until the bacon is golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye while it's baking- you don't want it to get over done.
4.Let the bacon cool on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes.
5.Remove the bacon and place it on a cutting board but DO NOT remove the foil.
6.Carefully pour the bacon grease from the baking sheet into a large, heavy skillet (preferably cast iron if you have it). You should have about 2 tablespoons of bacon grease.
7.Heat it over medium heat, then add the onions and garlic. Cook until the onions are soft and translucent. While the onion cooks, cut the bacon into 1/2 inch pieces.
8.Add the bacon to the pan and toss it all to combine. Cook for about 3 minutes.
9.Add the maple syrup and coffee grounds to the pan and cook for another 5 minutes.
10.If it seems like the bacon mixture is too dry (there should be a bit of liquid at all times), add a couple tablespoons of water to the pan.
11.Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
12.Add the Bourbon and cook for another 20 minutes, adding water as needed.
13.Transfer the bacon mixture to a food processor and pulse a few times. The jam should not be completely smooth, but should have some texture.
14.Transfer the bacon jam from the food processor to a jar and cover with the lid. Cool completely before putting it in the refrigerator. The jam will keep for 2 weeks.
I just found the perfect accompaniment to bacon bagels:

No matter what, it all leads back to bacon doesn't it.
We tend to keep it camouflaged since we're known to be greedy with our bacon.I don't know how I didn't see this thread until recently. I must have by-passed it.
I guess I can't blame you for hogging it. Fat chance I'll ever turn it down.We tend to keep it camouflaged since we're known to be greedy with our bacon.
