a spread perfect for burgers and on bread

Finely dice the bacon and fry. Add the finely diced onions until translucent and the bacon crispy. Deglaze with the whiskey. Add the chopped chipotles and simmer briefly until only a little liquid remains. Season with ketchup, apple cider vinegar, syrup, sugar, and paprika and simmer a little longer. Let cool slightly and blend the mixture with an immersion blender until it reaches a jam-like, spreadable consistency. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and paprika or chili. Tip: Chipotles en adobo is also a good alternative to chipotles, ketchup, and vinegar. The recipe is available at Chefkoch.de or canned. A burger becomes a real experience with this sweet and spicy paste, and even on fresh bread, the bacon jam is fun to enjoy between meals. I prefer the slightly heartier bacon instead of breakfast bacon.
