I was NOT prepared for how good it is 🤤

Would you try this or is this a hard pass?

Jalapeño Bacon Jam

Ingredients:
- 1 lb bacon chopped
- 1 large yellow onion finely chopped
- 3 medium jalapeño peppers diced
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp chili powder

Directions:
1. Over medium heat, cook bacon until golden and crisp, turning occasionally, about 8–10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove bacon and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to soak up excess fat.
2. Pour off most bacon grease from skillet, leaving about ¼ cup.
3. Add onion and jalapeños to the skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft, deeply golden, and caramelized, about 15–20 minutes.
4. Stir in minced garlic, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, chili powder, and cooked bacon pieces. Mix well and simmer gently for 7–10 minutes until thickened to a jam-like consistency, stirring occasionally.
5. Serve warm or chilled. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Reheat gently before serving if desired.

Notes: You can pulse the jam for a smoother texture or leave chunky. This is great on eggs, burgers, sandwiches, bagel with cream cheese.

I enjoy it on a cracker with cream cheese.
