Bit of an unusual recipe but tastes soooo good, try it in a toasted cheese sandwich...

method

Fry the bacon in batches until lightly browned and beginning to crisp. Remove to paper towel-lined plate and set aside, Fry the onion and garlic in another pot with a little olive oil on a medium heat until translucent.

Add the bacon to the onions and garlic. Add the rest of the ingredients and 125ml water. Simmer for 1 hour, stirring regularly. Add more water if needed.

The jam is done when you cant tell the onions from the bacon. Cool for about 15-20 minutes and then place in a food processor. Pulse for 2-3 seconds so that you leave some texture to the jam. Refrigerate up to 2 weeks
