The ultimate bacon lovers condiment, Bacon Onion Jam is savory, sweet and so delicious! Enjoy it on crackers, burgers, cheese boards, sandwiches, pizza and much more.
Put the chopped bacon in a heavy bottomed pot or large skillet.
Cook over medium heat until it’s nearly browned and the fat is rendered.
If there's excess fat, pour out all but about 3 tablespoons bacon drippings. Add the chopped onions to the pan.
Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are browned and caramelized, about 15 minutes.
Reduce heat to medium-low, add the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, and mustard, and cook, stirring often, until the mixture is thick and jammy, about 30 to 40 minutes.
Remove from the heat, cool for 15 minutes, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy! (If making ahead, cool to room temperature and transfer to a tightly sealing container or glass jar and refrigerate.)
