Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb diced turkey bacon
  • 1 cup diced red onions
  • 1 cup diced jalapenos (seeds removed for milder flavor)
  • 2 tbsp minced garlic
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp paprika

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan over medium heat, cook the diced turkey bacon until crispy. Drain excess grease, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pan.
  2. Add the red onions, jalapenos, and minced garlic to the pan. Sauté until the onions are transparent.
  3. Reduce heat to low and stir in maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, paprika, and the cooked bacon.
  4. Let the mixture simmer for about an hour, stirring occasionally until thickened. If it becomes too thick, add a splash of water.
  5. Allow the jam to cool before transferring it into sealable jars. Chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour before serving.
