Gluten-Free Bacon Jam Recipe

Instructions

1. In a large skillet or Dutch oven, cook bacon over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until fat is rendered and bacon is lightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels to drain.

4. Reduce heat to a bare simmer and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until liquid is syrupy, 1 hour.
5. Let cool, then refrigerate in an airtight container up to 4 weeks.
