How to Make Slow Cooker Bacon Jam
- Cook 1 pound bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until fat is rendered and bacon is lightly browned (about 20 minutes).
- Transfer bacon to paper towels using a slotted spoon to drain excess grease.
- Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of bacon fat from the skillet. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced.
- Cook until onions are translucent (about 6 minutes).
- Stir in 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/4 cup maple syrup, and 2 tablespoons strong brewed coffee. Bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon (about 2 minutes).
- Add the cooked bacon to the skillet and stir to combine.
- Transfer the mixture to a 6-quart slow cooker. Cook on high, uncovered, until the liquid is syrupy and reduced (3 1/2 to 4 hours).
- Transfer the bacon jam to a food processor.
- Pulse until coarsely chopped, leaving some texture.
- Let cool completely before refrigerating in airtight containers for up to 4 weeks.
