Bacon Jam

  • Ingredients:
    • 1 pound bacon, 1 large Onion, 4 cloves garlic, ¼ cup apple cider vinegar1 cup freshly brewed coffee, ½ cup brown sugar,
    • 2 chipotle chilies in adobo, chopped, ¼ cup bourbon, ¾ teaspoon cumin

    1. Cook your bacon until crispy, and remove it from the pan onto a paper towel to drain. Reserve about 2 tablespoons of fat in the pan.

    2. Slice your onion finely, add it to the greased pan, and sauté over medium heat until softened.

    3. Chop the garlic cloves and add them to the pan, sautéing a further minute.

    4. Add apple cider vinegar and cook until slightly evaporated.

    5. Add remaining ingredients and combine well.

    6. Crumble in the crisped bacon, stir to combine, and simmer for 45 minutes or until the liquid has become syrupy (this may take as long as an hour). 

    7. Pour the mixture into a food processor and pulse until it is spreadable but not entirely smooth — you want a little texture, and the occasional piece of bacon for some crunch.

    8. Place the jam in a jar and label it. Keep refrigerated, and bring desired amount to room temperature before spreading it on absolutely everything!bacon Jam

Did you know you can take cheap peppermint candy (or ANY hard candy of any type) and make a platter? It’s amazing and SO EASY! Here’s what you do:

  1. Line a pizza pan with parchment paper.
  2. Open peppermint candies and arrange them in whichever pattern you’d like on the parchment paper.
  3. Bake at 350 for 13-17 minutes.
  4. Pull it off the pizza pan after 2-3 minutes & put it flat on the counter to cool (still on the parchment paper).
  5. Allow to cool fully and pull off the paper. VOILA! Plate made from candy.

I WISH I WOULD HAVE KNOWN THIS YEARS AGO  ;)

 With Halloween coming up, share this to your page so you can remember to do this!

 After you scoop out and carve your pumpkin, dip it in a large container of bleach and water (use a 1 tsp:1 gal mix). The bleach will kill bacteria and help your pumpkin stay fresh longer. Once completely dry, (drain upside down), add 2 tablespoon of vinegar and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice to a quart of water. Brush this solution onto your pumpkin to keep it looking fresh for weeks.”
