So on my journal I asked people if they could only eat one dish for the rest of their life, what would it be? Well an FACCC mod made mention of bacon and  yelleena of course spurred on my request of bacon jam. So ... for all you foodies, fatties, lovers of bacon ... whatever you deem yourself ... here you are!

Ingredients:
3 lbs smoked bacon (applewood used here)
4 small onions, diced
6 cloves garlic, peeled & smashed with the side of your knife
1/3 cup maple syrup
1 cup cider vinegar
1 cup brown sugar
2 tsp dry mustard
1 1/2 cups brewed coffee
1 tsp Tabasco (optional, but I wouldn't recommended skipping it)

Directions:
Cut bacon into 1 inch pieces and cook in a large skillet until it's lightly browned and fat is rendered off. Remove with a slotted spoon/fork and place on a plate lined with paper towels and set aside.
Remove all but 2 tbsp of bacon fat from the pan, add the onions and garlic and cook for about 10 minutes or until onions are translucent.
Add the maple syrup, vinegar, sugar, coffee, dry mustard and Tabasco and bring to a boil while stirring for about 2 minutes.
Add the bacon back to the pan and stir to combine.
Transfer mixture to the bowl of your slow cooker and cook on high, uncovered, for about 4-5 hours or until liquid becomes syrupy.
Transfer to the bowl of a food processor and pulse two times or until it's just slightly chopped up. Cool completely, then refrigerate in an air tight container.

Toast, crackers, eggs in a basket ... the possibilities are endless!
