perfect barbecue side dish or dip

Place the garlic and onion in the mixing bowl and chop for 3 seconds/speed 5. Scrape everything down the mixing bowl with the spatula, then add the bacon and chop for 5 seconds/speed 4. Add the olive oil and cook for 10 minutes/120°C/on the gentle setting. Add the sugar, vinegar, maple syrup, coffee powder, paprika powder, cinnamon, and chili flakes and cook for 10 minutes/120°C/on the gentle setting without the measuring jug, using the simmering basket to prevent splashing. Blend everything for 5 seconds/speed 6. Pour the finished mixture into prepared jars and seal while still hot. Tip: When adding sugar, vinegar, maple syrup, etc., I recommend adding a shot of bourbon whiskey. This gives the whole thing a smokier note. Note: The bacon jam will keep in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for about 14 days.
