Bacon jam

The cook, step by step.

1. 1

   Step 1

   Done

   We start in this recipe to decorate the barbecue half indirectly so that we can put the cast iron skillet on both the direct and indirect part. We're going for a temperature of 180 degrees Celsius in the dome.

   In the meantime, we prepare everything by cutting the bacon slices into small pieces and slashing the onion. Then we press the garlic clove and put it with the onion in a bowl. We then make a mixture by putting the apple vinegar, maple syrup, honey, sugar and herbs together in a bowl and stirring each other well. The preparations for the bacon jam are now done.

   Step 3

   Done

   We then put the cast iron skillet or pan directly above the coals and bake the bacon in here until it is brown. Then remove the bacon and bacon grease from the pan but leave 2 tablespoons of bacon grease. Then bake the onion and garlic until the onion is beautifully glazed. After this we add the jam mixture and add the bacon again. Stir well together now and move the skillet to the indirect part of the barbecue. Let this stand here for about 20-30 minutes at the 150 degrees dome temperature or until the substance becomes viscous. That can happen pretty fast.

   Step 4

   Done

   Once the bacon jam is poopy you can take it out of the pan and briefly grind in the food processor. But don't do this very nicely, if there are some coarse pieces of bacon in it that is good! The bacon jam can now be put in the cooler and used whenever you want! You can store the bacon jam for at least a week or 3-4. Although I doubt you'll make it.
