Bacon Jam




Probeer dit volgende keers saal met jou hamburgers:

Bacon Jam
Ingredients
500 gr bacon – finely diced
4 large onions – finely diced
5 ml chili flakes
80 ml maple syrup
125 ml strong coffee
80 ml red wine vinegar
zest of 1 orange
5 ml dry fine ginger
80 ml brandy
Method
Heat a heavy-based pot on the stove and  fry the bacon until crispy and brown. Remove the bacon from the pot and in the same pot, saute the onions until soft and translucent. Add the bacon and all the other ingredients, except the brandy back to the pot and simmer for 45  – 60 minutes.  The mixture should be thick and syrupy. Add the brandy and allow to cook through. If you want a smooth bacon jam, you can transfer the mixture to a food processor and  process until fine or if you like it chunky like I do, keep it as is. Spoon into sterilized jars and cool of. Keep in the fridge for a couple of weeks, if you can save it that long.
