Spicy Bacon Jam

My favorite flavor combination is sweet and spicy. I love bacon jam so I decided to spice it up with jalapeno and habanero peppers. This spicy bacon jam goes great on just about anything, burgers, sandwiches maybe even some ice cream.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound bacon chopped

• 1 teaspoons butter

• 3 large yellow onions, diced

• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

• 1 teaspoon chipotle powder

• 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil

• 2 jalapenos, stem removed and diced

• 4 habanero peppers, stem removed and diced

Instructions:

• Cut bacon into around 1 inch wide pieces

• Place bacon into a large pot and heat on medium until the bacon is foamy on top and crispy

• Strain bacon grease out of the pot and set bacon on a paper towel to cool

• Add 1 tablespoon of bacon grease into the pot where you cooked the bacon

• Add butter, onions, salt, pepper

• On medium heat cook onions until they are soft and translucent (around 10 minutes)

• Add jalapenos and habaneros, cook for another 20 minutes stirring occasionally

• Stir in chipotle powder and hot sauce

• Chop up the cooled down bacon into small pieces

• Add brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and bacon to the onions

• Cook on medium heat until the bacon jam becomes a light mahogany color and the texture of jam

• Turn off heat
