## Ingredients

- 1.5 cup thick cut bacon
- 2 large sweet onions
- 5 cloves garlic
- 0.5 cup bourbon whiskey
- 0.5 cup pure maple syrup
- 0.5 cup dark brown sugar
- 0.33 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- 0 salt
- 0 pepper

## Instructions

1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crispy.
2. Remove bacon and place on a paper towel-lined plate. Reserve 2 tbsp of bacon fat in the pan.
3. Add diced onions to the pan with bacon fat. Season with a pinch of salt. Sauté over medium heat until caramelized. Add minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Deglaze the pan with bourbon. Let the bourbon reduce by half, then stir in maple syrup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, pepper, and paprika.
5. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer until thick and syrupy (about 10 minutes). Add the chopped bacon back to the pan and simmer for another 10 minutes on low until it reaches a jam-like consistency.
6. Let cool completely. Add to an airtight glass container or mason jar. Store in the refrigerator for 2-4 weeks.
