How to Make Bourbon Caramel Bacon Jam

2- Add the onions to the pot and cook in bacon fat until soft, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
3- Return the bacon to the pot and add the cinnamon, nutmeg, cayenne, and Dijon. Stir until everything is incorporated.
