CARAMELISED ONION AND BACON JAM


CARAMELISED ONION AND BACON JAM
2 cups bacon, cut into 1 cm pieces
4 cups onion, chopped into chunks
¾ cup of coffee (boiling water + 1 teaspoon coffee powder)
3 tablespoons honey
½ teaspoon cumin
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Fry bacon on medium heat until it begins to brown.
Remove the bacon from pan and transfer to a paper towel, set aside.
Keep the fat from bacon in pan and add onions.
Cook the onions until they begin to soften.
Reduce the heat to low, add coffee, honey, cumin, and bacon and simmer for 35-40 minutes or until mixture has begun to thicken and become jam like in consistency.
Add balsamic vinegar.
Transfer mixture to a food processor, pulse 3-4 times so the bacon is broken down into smaller pieces.
Don’t over do it as the jam should be chunky.
Transfer to airtight container and store in fridge for up to 3 weeks.
