Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs thick cut bacon
  • 2 large yellow onions
  • 2 tbs maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire
  • 1 tbs fresh thyme leaves
  • 2 tbs beef stock

Instructions

  • Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Chop your bacon into 1/2" chunks and thinly slice onions.
  • Add bacon to hot skillet and cook until almost completely crisp, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking. Drain off all but 2 tablespoons of bacon grease.
  • Turn the heat down to medium low, and add in sliced onions and stir to coat completely. Cook until beginning to soften, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add all the remaining ingredients and stir until sugar is dissolved. Allow to cook slowly until onions are deep golden brown and jam is thickened.
  • Eat immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or freeze up to 3 months. Yields about 2 cups.
