Ingredients
- 1 pound bacon, cut into small pieces
- 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped into ¼-inch pieces (about 3 cups)
- 2 large shallots, diced (about 1 cup)
- 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
- ½ cup (100 g) brown sugar
- ¼ cup (79 g) maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 3 tablespoons whiskey
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, cook bacon until crispy. While the bacon is cooking, line a plate with a paper towel.
- Place the cooked bacon onto the lined plate. Set aside.
- Leave about 4 tablespoons of bacon grease in the pan, carefully removing the rest.
- To the pan, add the onion and diced shallots. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook until the onions are caramelized, 15-20 minutes, stirring often.
- Mix in the garlic, brown sugar, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, chili powder, and pieces of cooked bacon.
- Remove the pan from heat and add the whiskey. Stir well. Place the pan back on the heat.
- Simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened. It should be about the consistency of a jam.
- Serve warm or at room temperature, but you may want to warm it slightly if it has been refrigerated.
