Title: Egbert Souse's Bacon Jam
Categories: Pork, Vegetables, Herbs, Chilies
Yield: 12 servings

1 1/2 lb Bacon, chopped
2 ts Butter
4 lg Yellow onions; diced
1 ts Salt
1/4 c Brown sugar
1/4 c Sherry vinegar
1 1/2 ts Fresh thyme leaves; divided
1 ts Fresh ground black pepper
pn Cayenne pepper
1/2 c Water
2 ts Balsamic vinegar
2 ts Extra-virgin olive oil

Place bacon in a large, heavy-bottomed pot and cook over
medium heat until bacon is crispy and the rendered fat
is foaming, about 10 minutes. Pour bacon and rendered
fat into a strainer placed over a bowl to drain fat.
When fat is drained and bacon is cool enough to handle,
remove bacon to a cutting board and finely chop.

Return pot to medium heat; drizzle 2 teaspoons reserved
bacon fat and butter in pan. Saute onions and 1 teaspoon
salt until soft and translucent, 7 to 10 minutes.

Stir brown sugar, sherry vinegar, 1 teaspoon thyme
leaves, black pepper, and cayenne into onion mixture;
add bacon. Stir water into bacon mixture and cook until
jam is a brick-brown bacon color and has a jam
consistency, 10 to 15 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir balsamic vinegar, olive oil,
and remaining 1/2 teaspoon thyme into jam; stir until
shiny and heated through.

Title: Thick-Cut Bacon
Categories: Five, Pork, Sauces
Yield: 4 Servings

1 lb Bacon in 4 equal(ish) pieces
1/2 c Packed brown sugar
1 tb Dijon mustard
1 ts Worcestershire sauce

Set oven @ 425oF/220oC. Arrange the bacon pieces on a
large sheet pan.

In a small saucepan, heat the brown sugar, mustard, and
Worcestershire sauce over medium-low heat until a thick
glaze forms. Reduce heat to low and keep warm.

Cook the bacon for 25 to 30 minutes, until beginning to
turn golden but not completely cooked through. Remove
from the oven and pour off the excess fat into a
separate bowl.

Brush each piece with a generous amount of the brown
sugar mixture. Return bacon to the oven and cook for an
additional 5 to 7 minutes, until bacon is golden and
crisp. (Watch carefully; it can burn very quickly.)

RECIPE NOTES: This recipe can be made using thick sliced
bacon. Do not use thin bacon, it will burn too quickly
before the brown sugar gets a chance to caramelize.

You can divide the bacon between two sheet pans if
necessary, but make sure to rotate them between racks
halfway through cooking time to prevent burning.
