(4,043 posts)1 lb bacon, prefer applewood smoked
1 medium white onion, sliced
1 red onion, sliced
3 oz Makers Mark 46 Aged Bourbon
3 cloves of garlic roasted in olive oil for 45 mins at 375F
2 Tb brown sugar
salt
2 tsp honey
1 tsp balsamic vinegar
Cook the bacon fairly crisp in an oven and pour off most of the grease. Carmelize the onions in about 2 Tb of the bacon fat for 10 mins then add bacon, garlic and other ingredients. If you are cooking on flames, remove the pan from the burner when adding the bourbon as it may ignite otherwise. Simmer on medium low heat to allow most alcohol to evaporate then reduce heat to low heat for another 10 minutes.
Cool slightly and process in a food processor to the preferred texture (for me, about 12 quick pulses removing the lid twice to push down any onion or larger pieces of bacon which may stick the side walls of the processor). Taste and adjust seasoning. Acids like the balsamic really help the other flavors pop. One more pulse and youre done.
