    Grill Master's Gift

    I have made the fabulous bacon jam before, but as Rick Rodgers' recipe proves,  everything is better with bourbon. Four Roses Bourbon to be exact. Since doing my first review of Rick Rodger's new book, The Big Book of Sides, I have been cooking delicious savory side dishes almost daily.

    Bacon Onion Bourbon Marmalade and Burger Seasoning

    When I cam across his recipe for Bacon Onion and Bourbon Marmalade, I knew that it would be a perfect part of our Homemade Holidays Series. After all... bacon, bourbon, and burgers are the perfect gift for that special grill master/meat lover in your life.

    Bacon Onion Bourbon Marmalade and Burger Seasoning

    We paired the delicious Bacon Onion Bourbon Marmalade with our favorite meat and potato seasoning. Pair it with a bottle of Four Roses Bourbon and you will be known as the best gift giver! Add Rick Rodger's new book to the mix (every dish needs a side!) and you will guarantee some fabulous gifts in return next year 😉

    A few quick notes about these recipes. The Bacon Onion and Bourbon Marmalade needs to be refrigerated, so make sure to let the recipient know. Also, it i good for up to 3 weeks. I was able to make 5 four ounce jars out of this recipe. The Grill Master Seasoning recipe makes 3 spice jars or 1 and ½ extra large spice jar. For the labels, simple print the Grill Master labels, and bourbon bacon labels on full sheet labels, then cut out and stick on the jars.

    Best Gift Ever

    Bacon Onion Bourbon Marmalade and Burger Seasoning
    Author: Jackie
    Ingredients
    Rick Rodgers' Bacon Onion and Bourbon Marmalade
    • 8 ounces super-thick sliced hickory or applewood smoked bacon , cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces
    • 3 pounds yellow onions , cut into thin half-moons
    • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
    • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
    • ¼ cup maple syrup , preferably Grade A Dark
    • ¼ cup bourbon
    • 1 ⅓ teaspoons finely chopped fresh time
    Grill Master's Seasoning
    • ⅓ cup paprika
    • ⅓ cup kosher salt
    • ¼ cup garlic powder
    • 1 teaspoon celery salt
    • ½ teaspoon ancho chili powder
    • ½ tablespoon chili powder
    • 1 tablespoon black pepper
    • 2 tablespoons cumin
    • 2 tablespoons dried oregano and parsley , each
    Instructions
    Bacon Marmalade
    1. Cook bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, adjuring the temperature so the bacon cooks evenly but the glaze in the bottom of the skillet does not burn, until the bacon is crisp and browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer bacon to paper towels to drain, leaving the fat in the skillet.
    2. Stir in the onions with 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper. Cover the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the onions are very tender and golden brown, about 25 minutes.
    3. Stir in the reserved bacon with the vinegar, maple syrup, bourbon, and thyme and bring the t a simmer over medium heat. Return the heat to medium-low simmer, stirring often, until the liquids have reduced to a few tablespoons and the mixture is thick and spreadable, about 10 minutes. Transfer it to a bowl and let it cool (remove from refrigerator 1 hour before serving). Serve at room temperature.
    Grill Master's Seasoning
    1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir to combine.
    2. Add seasoning to spice jars and close tightly.
    3. Use on meat, pork, salmon, and fries!
