How to Make Bacon Jam for Your Burger

This isn't just the best thing since sliced bread. It's even better than sliced bread.

You can make enough of this amazing bacon jam on your stovetop or in your slow cooker to be happy for a very long time.

If you're using a slow-cooker, all you need is:

  • 2 medium onions
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 3 quarters of a cup of brewed coffee
  • 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup of maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup of brown sugar
