Ingredients

  • Beer and Bacon Jam
  • 500g (1 pkg) smoked bacon
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 tbsp fancy molasses
  • 1 chili in adobo sauce, diced
  • 1 tbsp adobo sauce
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 cup brewed coffee
  • 1 bottle of beer
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • Black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Cut the bacon into 1" pieces and fry over medium heat in a dutch oven or deep pot until browned but not crisp.
  2. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and drain all but 1 tbsp of the bacon grease.
  3. Fry the onion and garlic in the bacon fat until soft.
  4. Add the chili, adobo sauce, cooked bacon, paprika and molasses and stir.
  5. Add the coffee, 1 cup of the beer, maple syrup and freshly ground black pepper.
  6. Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 2 hours. As the liquid boils away add more beer a bit at a time to keep the mixture from drying out.
  7. Allow the mixture to cool a bit and then purée until smooth with a bit of texture.
