Bacon Jam

I actually made this quite a while ago, shamelessly stolen from Not Quite Nigella

Ingredients

Let’s see if I can remember what I used:

• 20 rashers of bacon (Smoked)
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• About half a bulb of garlic, minced
• A good heaped tablespoon of brown sugar (some might call this 2 spoons)
• Some Chilula chipotle hot sauce (smokey tasty)
• 1/2 a cup of maple syrup (maybe a little more, maybe more like a 1/2 mug)
• 1 cup of coffee
• 1/4 of a cup of cider vinegar

Method

It’s pretty easy:

• Fry all the bacon
• Put the fried bacon into a pot with the onion and garlic on a medium heat, give it about 10 minutes until the onion is nice and soft
• Add everything else to the pot and bring to a simmer
• Leave the pot open and keep it at a low simmer for around 2 hours (You may have to add a little water if it starts to look too dry)
• You should end up with a sticky mess, put it in a food processor and whizz to your desired consistency
• Eat on toast, with eggs, anywhere where you might use a chutney
