Honey Bacon Jam

Instructions

1. In a non stick frying pan over medium high heat, cook your diced bacon until slightly crisp. Remove from pan, drain all by 2 tbsp of the grease and return the pan to the heat. 
2. Add the onions to the bacon grease and sprinkle with a pinch of Maldon salt. Cook over Medium heat until the onions soften and begin to caramelize. This should take about 10 minutes or so. 
3. Once onions have caramelized, add the brown sugar and the honey to them and continue to cook on low heat until sugar has been reduced and onions are nice and caramelized with a deep brown hue. Approximately 20 minutes. 
4. Add the expresso, water, and bacon back to the jam. Turn your heat up to medium and cook until juices reduce the sauce to a thick jammy consistency. 
5. Add the balsamic and give this jam a good stir. Cook for 2 more minutes and then remove from heat. Give it a taste and add more salt if needed. 
6. Store in the fridge in a covered mason jar for up to a week.
