Delicious jam perfect for crackers, crostini, or crusty bread.
Ingredients:
  • 10 slices bacon
  • 2 large red onions, cut in half, then sliced vertically
  • 2 large sweet onions, cut in half, then sliced vertically
  • 2 large shallots, cut in half, then sliced vertically
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup apple cider
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
Instructions:
  • Cook bacon in a 4- to 5-quart Dutch oven until crispy. Place on paper towels to drain, and save the drippings in the Dutch oven. Crumble the bacon and set aside.
  • Caramelize onions and shallots in bacon fat on medium-low heat for 15 minutes until soft and golden. Stir in brown sugar, vinegar, cider, and thyme. Simmer on low for 40 minutes until the mixture thickens. Off the heat, mix in the cooked bacon. Let the jam cool to room temperature before refrigerating in a covered jar.
