Slow cooker honey bacon compote
Author: 
 
Ingredients
  • 1½ pounds bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 medium yellow onions, large dice
  • 4 garlic cloves, crushed and chopped
  • ½ cup cider vinegar
  • ½ cup honey
  • ¾ cup strong, brewed coffee
Instructions
  1. Cook the bacon in a skillet until it's well browned. (I use an iron skillet.)
  2. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to paper towels to drain. Pour out all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease from the skillet.
  3. Add the onions and garlic and cook until the onions are translucent.
  4. Add the vinegar, honey and coffee and bring to a boil, stirring and scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  5. Add the drained bacon and stir to combine.
  6. Transfer the mixture to a slow cooker.
  7. Cook uncovered for 3½ to 4 hours on high. When the liquids have thickened and appear sticky or tacky, the compote is ready.
  8. Turn off the slow cooker. Allow the compote to cool to room temperature and serve.
  9. Place remaining compote in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to four weeks.
