Instructions
Sauté bacon in a pot (cast iron preferred) over medium heat stirring frequently until bacon is cooked but not crispy (about 5 minutes).
Remove bacon from pot and transfer to a plate covered in paper towels to absorb grease. Reserve 1 tablespoon of bacon drippings from the pot.
Add onions to pot and cook in bacon grease for 8 minutes. Reduce heat to low.
Add brown sugar, espresso, and pure maple syrup. Stir frequently for 20 minutes while the onions caramelize.
Add bacon and continue to cook, 30 minutes, stirring every few minutes. Onion and bacon mixture will become thick.
Remove from heat and stir in apple cider vinegar.
Allow bacon jam to cool. Add to a blender or food processor and pulse to achieve the desired consistency.
