Bacon Jam

Yields 2 cups at 60 mg of THC per cup

1 lb. thick cut bacon

2 large sweet onions (halved and sliced)

½ cup brown sugar

2 Tbsp. maple syrup (reference recipe on next page)

⅓ cup infused strong brew coffee (reference recipe on next page)

1 Tbsp. mustard seeds

1 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar

¼ tsp. cayenne pepper

½ tsp. salt

Instructions

Dice the bacon and add to a large skillet. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently until the bacon is cooked through. Make sure the frying yields chewy bacon versus crispy bacon.

Remove from the skillet and set aside. Pour off most of the bacon drippings, leaving some to cook the onions.

Add the onions to the skillet and then salt. Cook on low heat and stir consistently for 20 minutes or until the onions are nicely caramelized. Add sugar and cook for another 5–7 minutes while stirring. Add the maple syrup, coffee, water, mustard seeds, and bacon.

Cook on medium heat until the mixture is of a jam consistency, stirring every 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the balsamic vinegar.

Cool and refrigerate for up to one week. There will be little spots. Bring to room temperature before serving.

BUD PAIRING: For this recipe, I used a rare CHOCOLATE DIESEL strain, as it has coffee notes with woodsy undertones. An alternative is Chocolate Thai, which also has a coffee flavor along with notes of spice. Both have euphoric and energetic properties that add an additional boost to infused coffee.
