Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs thick-cut beef bacon, diced
  • 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup brewed coffee
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for a spicy apple whiskey kick)
  • 1 tablespoon apple whiskey extract

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet or Dutch oven, cook the diced beef bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon fat in the pan.
  2. Add the finely chopped yellow onion to the reserved bacon fat and cook until softened and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Return the cooked beef bacon to the pan.
  5. Pour in the brewed coffee, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, and brown sugar.
  6. Add the smoked paprika, black pepper, and optional cayenne pepper.
  7. Stir in the apple whiskey extract, ensuring all ingredients are well combined for this sweet savory apple whiskey blend.
  8. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has mostly evaporated and the jam has thickened. The sweet apple whiskey flavors will meld beautifully.
  9. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  10. For a smoother texture, transfer the apple whiskey jam to a food processor and pulse a few times, leaving some chunky bits for texture. Alternatively, you can mash it with a fork.
  11. Store the apple whiskey extract beef bacon jam in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. This sweet and savory whiskey condiment is perfect for many dishes.
