Bourbon Bacon Peach Jam

Bourbon bacon peach jam is a flavorful and versatile spread that can elevate a variety of dishes.

Ingredients:

N

1 lb bacon

N

1 cup red onion, diced

N

1 tbsp. Habanero, seeded and minced

N

4 peaches, peeled and diced

N

1 cup brown sugar

N

1 tsp. kosher salt

N

1 tsp. ground cumin

N

1 tsp. ground black pepper

N

3 tbsp. bourbon or whiskey

N

4 tbsp. apple cider vinegar

Step 1: Cook bacon over medium heat in a large saucepan to render fat.

Stir occasionally to keep from burning. Cook until just shy of crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Pour bacon into a sieve and retain fat and drippings.

Step 2: Add 2 tablespoons of bacon fat back into the pan and place the pan back on medium heat.

Add onions to pan until aromatic and translucent, stirring occasionally, taking care to not burn. Add habanero and combine well with onion. Add peaches and stir to combine. Cook for 1 minute.

Step 3: Add spices and liquids to the pan.

Cook over low medium heat, stirring occasionally. Jam should have a lazy bubble and begin to reduce.

Step 4: Cook for about 15-20 minutes.

Or until the mixture begins to take on a syrup consistency, take care to not burn the liquid. Remove from heat and cool.

Tip: Store leftover jam in the refrigerator for up to seven days.
