Ingredients
Scale
1 lb of thick-cut bacon, chopped
1 medium onion, finely chopped
4–6 jalapenos, seeded and diced
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 cup of brown sugar
1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup of maple syrup (optional)
1 teaspoon of black pepper
Instructions
Cook the bacon: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until it's crispy, about 10-12 minutes.
Drain and set aside: Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, letting it drain while keeping some grease in the pan.
Sauté the aromatics: Add the chopped onions to the same skillet and cook in the bacon grease for about 5 minutes until soft. Then add the diced jalapenos and garlic, cooking for 2-3 minutes more.
Combine ingredients: Stir in the brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and maple syrup, bringing to a gentle simmer until the sugar dissolves.
Add bacon back in: Stir the crispy bacon back into the mixture, letting it cook for another 10-15 minutes.
Blend if desired: For a smoother texture, blend the mixture with an immersion blender.
Cool and store: Let cool before transferring to sterilized jars, refrigerating for up to 2 weeks.
