Bacon onion jam is certainly not what comes to mind. Traditional bacon jam recipes are made by slow cooking the bacon and the onions with vinegar, brown sugar and spices, and then putting then ingredients in a food processor to make sort of a relish.

What types of onions can be used in this Sweet Onion Jam recipe. Not all onions are created equal, especially when it comes to recipes like this one.
