Healthier Bacon and Whiskey Jam

I first tried this bacon and whisky jam at a friend’s holiday party a few years ago. It was so delicious that I could not stop eating it, so she sent the jar home with me! I had to learn how to make it on my own. This incredible, sweet, and bacony ‘jam’ is so delicious. It is just perfect served with gluten-free crackers and extra-strong cheese. I think it will make great gifts too, so stock up on some cute little jars and double the batch to give away to friends and loved ones! I was gifted it from a friend originally, and had to come up with my own recipe!

  • Add the cayenne pepper and paprika and stir well to combine.
  • Deglaze the pan by adding the whiskey. Increase the heat and cook until the whiskey cooks out completely (evaporates).
  • Repeat the process with the balsamic vinegar, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze. Cook stirring continuously until the balsamic vinegar cooks out completely.
  • Stir in the maple syrup and cook until the mixture thickens completely and there is little moisture left in the pan.
