Ingredients

5 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
1 large yellow or white onion sliced
1 tablespoon butter
¼ cup coconut sugar (substitute brown sugar)
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
¼ cup maple syrup

Instructions

Heat the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onions and cook until starting to caramelize, about 10-15 minutes.
Add remaining ingredients and stir periodically to ensure the sugar does not burn.
Simmer until mixture has become thick and glossy (about 10-15 minutes). Remove from heat.
Let the jam cool and store in a covered jar in the fridge for up to one week.

Notes

Using a thick cut bacon gives the bacon pieces a slightly chewy texture that is incredible.
The recipe can easily be doubled, tripled, etc.
Cut the onions as thin or chunky as you'd like. I t depends on how you prefer the consistency of the jam. I cut them a medium thickness.
Freezing instructions: Freeze in a freezer safe container for up to 6 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight.
