Onion Jam Delight: Bacon Infusion

With a bit of sweetness, this Salary Onion Jam made with bourbon is warm and rich. You can spread it on burgers or grilled cheese, add it to cheese plates, or just eat it straight from the pot with a spoon. If you like this sweet and spicy jam, you should also try our Tomato Salary Jam!When my husband tried this Salary Onion Jam for the first time, he told me right away that I had greatly underestimated its value.

I really like it when sweet and salty tastes go together, and this Salary Onion Jam does just that. Bourbon is the only thing that could make it bigger. GAH. It's a crazy pay jam, everyone!If you find the thought of pay jam strange, picture this: Bourbon, honey, and balsamic vinegar are used to reduce well-done, salty salami and sautéed onions until a rich, thick jam forms. With a pinch of pepper, we get all the flavors: sweet, salty, sour, and a little hot, all in one easy-to-spread sauce.

Ingredients:

• Bacon—I like smoked salary that isn't too thin, so it still has good texture even when the jam isn't cooked with other things.
• Onions: A Vidalia or sweet yellow onion will have a stronger taste.
• whiskey—You can taste the whiskey in this jam, so don't use a brand that you wouldn't like to drink.
• Honey—This is where the goodness comes from! You are free to use maple syrup instead if you'd like.
• Balsamic vinegar gives the jam a sour taste and a creaminess that you can't quite finish.
• Cayenne pepper—Add a pinch (or several) if you like a little heat.

How to Make Salary Onion Jam

• Get the bacon ready.Put the chopped pay in a Dutch oven or another pot with a thick bottom. Lower the heat to medium-high and melt the salami over it. Stir it every so often until it turns brown and crispy. At first, it will look moist and warmed, but then it will foam up and be done. It will take about 10 to 15 minutes. Put the pay on a plate lined with paper towels and set it aside.
• Get the onions ready.Take out all but one tablespoon of the bacon grease from the pan. Then add the onions and butter. For about 15 minutes, stir the onions every now and then until they are soft and just beginning to brown.
• Mix in any extra tastes. After scraping any burnt stuff off the bottom of the pan, add the bourbon to the pot. If you want to make it really hot, turn up the heat and add the honey. Shake it around a lot for almost two minutes. Toss the sides for one minute after adding the vinegar.
• When you add the bacon to the pot, lower the heat to medium-low and let it cook for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the mixture gets thick and dark.
