SIMPLE ONION AND BACON JAM
Bacon jam isn't just for burgers, add it to grilled cheese, waffles or roasted veggies, the possibilities are endless. I prefer the ratio of more onion to bacon but feel free to add additional bacon. I've made the consistency thicker than a traditional jam.

BACON-ONION JAM
Here is a shockingly good accompaniment to chicken-liver pâté that came to The Times from the kitchen of the Fort Defiance in Brooklyn. But don't think that is its only use. Bacon-onion jam is also a terrific sandwich condiment. Paired with crumbled blue cheese, it's a fantastic topping for a serious, grown-up pizza pie. And because the recipe makes a lot of jam, all three options are possible. One note: Take your time. The point is to cook the mixture until it has achieved full jamminess. The onions should really caramelize. Covered, it will keep in the refrigerator for a week or so.

Steps:
- Set a Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium heat, and add the bacon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the fat is completely rendered and the bacon has started to crisp, approximately 12 to 15 minutes.
- Drain all but 1 tablespoon of the fat from the pot, and add the onions, mustard seed, brown sugar, vinegar and 3 tablespoons of water. Stir to combine, then cover the pot, lower the heat and allow the mixture to cook undisturbed for 15 or 20 minutes. Remove the top, stir again and then partly cover the pot. Allow the mixture to cook until most of the liquid is gone and the onions have achieved a dark brown jamminess, approximately 60 to 70 minutes. (Add a little more water as needed.)
- Taste the jam, and add salt and pepper if necessary.
- Remove mixture from heat, and allow to cool slightly. Spoon the jam into a jar or bowl, then allow to cool completely. Store, covered, in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Steps:
- Make the filling: Toss the bacon into a large skillet with a few drops of olive oil. Bring the pan to medium heat and cook the bacon until brown and crisp, about 13 minutes. Spoon off about half of the drippings. Add the onion to the pan and season with salt and the red pepper flakes. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and very aromatic, 8 to 10 more minutes. Add the tomato, season with more salt and cook another 8 to 10 minutes, or until the tomato is soft and mushy and most of the liquid has evaporated. Taste and reseason if needed. Stir in the oregano and let cool.
- Make the French toast: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. In a wide dish, combine the eggs, milk, cayenne (if using) and a pinch of salt. Beat until smooth and homogeneous.
- Lay 4 slices of bread on a work surface. Sprinkle each piece of bread lightly with cheese (use about half of the cheese). Spoon a quarter of the bacon filling onto each piece of bread, then sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Top each slice with another piece of bread and press to secure. Working in batches, soak each "toast" in the egg mixture, about 1 minute; flip and soak the other side.
- While the toasts are soaking, coat a large saute pan with olive oil and bring the pan to medium heat. Working in batches so you don't crowd the pan, cook the toasts for 2 to 3 minutes per side. The toasts should be golden brown, lovely and crisp-YUM! Transfer the toasts to a baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm.
- Make the eggs and assemble: Coat a large nonstick skillet lightly with olive oil and bring to medium heat. Add the eggs to the pan, working in batches if necessary. Cook until the whites are cooked through and the yolks are warm and runny, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the toasts from the oven and top each with a perfectly fried egg. Sprinkle with chives and serve immediately.

POACHED EGGS, WILTED SPINACH AND PULLMAN LOAF TOAST WITH BACON, ONION AND TOMATO JAM
Steps:
- For the bacon, onion and tomato jam: Toss the bacon into a large saute pan with a few drops of olive oil and the crushed red pepper flakes. Bring the pan to medium heat and cook the bacon until brown and crispy, 6 to 7 minutes. Spoon out 2 tablespoons of the rendered bacon fat from the pan and reserve. Add the onions and tomatoes and season with salt. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes and onions are soft and very aromatic, 12 to 15 minutes. Taste and reseason if needed. Stir in the oregano. Keep warm until ready to serve.
- For the toast and wilted spinach: Preheat a cast-iron griddle pan over medium-high heat. Once heated, add the butter and melt. Once melted, add the Pullman rounds and toast on both sides until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Once toasted, remove from the pan and carefully rub each piece with the garlic cloves. Set aside on plates.
- Add the reserved bacon fat to a large saute pan and preheat over medium-high heat. Once heated, add the spinach and salt and stir until wilted. Drain and discard any excess water. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Top the bread with the spinach just before serving.
- For the poached eggs: Fill a medium saucepan two-thirds of the way with water. Add the vinegar and bring to boil (BTB). Reduce the heat until no bubbles break the surface of the water¿the idea is to create an egg Jacuzzi, a very gentle cooking method.
- Crack the eggs into the poaching liquid and cook for 4 minutes. When done, the whites will be cooked through and the yolks will be warm and runny.
- Remove the eggs from the poaching liquid and blot on a paper towel before putting on the wilted spinach and toast. Top with the bacon jam and garnish with fresh oregano.
- Serve with a pitcher of freshly squeezed grapefruit juice.

Steps:
- For the bacon-onion jam: Heat the oil in a cast-iron pan on medium heat; add the onion and cook until beginning to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the bacon and thyme and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, then transfer the bacon and onion from the pan with a slotted spoon into a small saucepot. Reserve the bacon fat in the pan for cooking the tenderloin.
- Put the saucepot with the bacon-onion mixture over medium-low heat and add the brown sugar and coffee. Cook the mixture down to a thick consistency, 25 to 30 minutes. Stir in the apple cider vinegar.
- For the pork tenderloin: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Pat the tenderloin dry with paper towels, sprinkle with the garlic powder and season well with salt and pepper.
- Heat the reserved bacon grease in a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat and place the tenderloin in the hot fat. (This comes out even better if you use the same pan you made the jam in; you get all the flavor from the jam.) Sear on all sides, then transfer the pan to the oven to finish cooking to an internal temperature of 135 degrees F, 12 to 15 minutes. Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with the bacon-onion jam.
MICHAEL SYMON'S BACON AND ONION JAM
This is not my recipe, I saw Michael Symon cook this on The Chew. He made a grilled cheese with it but I put it on a sandwich made with grilled pork loin and barbeque sauce then grilled it like a grilled cheese. Very good. I was ask to post this recipe is the reason I am posting a Michael Symon recipe.

TURKEY CHEESEBURGER WITH ONION BACON WHISKEY JAM
I love making turkey burgers and wanted to take this burger out of the box. Who doesn't love bacon, and combining it with caramelized onions and a good splash of Tennessee Whiskey, it's a party in you mouth. The pineapple gives it a sweet note and the English Muffin adds the crunch to bring it all together. We couldn't put it...

Steps:
- 1. For the Burgers: Combine all of the burger ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Don't over mix. Separate into 8 patties, cover, set in the fridge and let them rest. Bring them out about 15 minutes before you are ready to cook them.
- 2. For the Jam: Put the bacon in a cold cast iron, or other heavy frying pan, add about 1 tablespoon of water to the pan, turn the heat to medium-high and cook until the fat has rendered out and the bacon is starting to become crisp, stirring occasionally. Don't let them get too well done. Remove the bacon from the pan and drain on paper towels. Set aside.
- 3. Pour out all but about 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat and return to the stove. Reduce the heat to medium, add the onions and the salt and cook uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until the onions are starting to get soft.
- 4. At that point add the bacon, brown sugar and water, stir together, turn the heat to low, cover and continue cooking for 20 minutes. Remove the cover, add the whisky, turn the heat back up to medium and cook partially covered for 10 to 15 minutes. For the last couple of minutes, add the apple cider vinegar and combine thoroughly. This could be made ahead of time and reheated when needed.
- 5. (To save time, start the onions at the same time as the bacon, in a second pan with two tablespoons of vegetable oil and the salt, following the directions above. When the bacon is done, drain out most of the bacon fat, leaving about one tablespoon, and add the onions to that pot using a slotted spoon. Follow the remaining directions.)
- 6. Cooking the Burgers: Heat a heavy cast iron pan or grill pan to medium high, brush with oil or spray, press an indentation into the top of each patty with your thumb, and put on the patties. Cook for 4 minutes. Don't move them until they are ready to turn. Turn and cook an additional 3 to 4 minutes and check for desired doneness, about 150 deg. Continue to cook if necessary.
- 7. Turn the heat to low, tear the cheese slices into quarters and place the cheese on each burger, cover and allow to melt, 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat, cover and let rest while assembling the burgers.
- 8. Assembling the sandwich: Brush a small amount of vegetable oil (optional) on each side of the pineapple rings and heat the rings in the pan that you cooked the burgers in, on medium-high, on both sides to develop a little crust.
- 9. Toast or grill the split muffins until brown and crispy, but not burnt.
- 10. Place a pineapple ring on each muffin bottom, followed by the burger. Spoon about 2 heaping tablespoons of the jam on top of each burger, cover with the top half of the muffin and serve.
BACON BURGERS WITH BACON-ONION-BALSAMIC JAM
Steps:
- Make the Jam In a heavy-duty 12-inch skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until lightly browned but not yet crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer the bacon to paper towels to drain. Pour off all but 2 to 3 Tbs. of bacon fat from the skillet. Add the onion to the skillet, season with a little salt and pepper, cover the pan, and cook for 2 minutes. Uncover, add a splash of water, and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Cover, and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and beginning to color, about 10 minutes. Add the vinegar, mustard, and 1/3 cup water. Return the bacon to the skillet and bring the mixture to a simmer. Simmer, uncovered, until the liquid has thickened and most of it has been absorbed, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and let cool slightly. Cover with plastic wrap and leave at room temperature for up to 2 hours, or refrigerate for up to 2 days and gently reheat before serving. Make the burgers With a sharp knife or food processor, mince the bacon. Transfer to a large mixing bowl, and add the ground beef, Worcestershire, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper. Using a fork, gently toss until well mixed but not overworked. Form into 4 equal patties, each 3/4 to 1 inch thick. Press your thumb in the center of each patty to create a deep depression. Prepare a gas or charcoal grill fire for indirect cooking over medium-high heat (400°F to 450°F). Grill the burgers over direct heat until grill marks form, 4 to 5 minutes (move them to indirect heat if any flare-ups occur). Flip the burgers and cook for 4 to 5 minutes more for medium (a faintly pink center). For more well done, cook an additional minute. Transfer the burgers to a plate and tent them with aluminum foil. Toast the cut sides of the buns on the grill until golden grill marks form,about 1 minute. Serve the burgers on the
