FOR BOURBON SPIKED ONION/ BACON JAM:
350 grams

1
sprig of rosemary

1/2 cup

1/2 cup

1/2 lb
(226.80 g) bacon, diced

Preparation
  • Cook bacon until crisp and rendered. Drain the bacon on a paper towel and discard of the fat. Wipe out the bacon pot and heat the oil. Sauté the onions until golden brown. Add the garlic, thyme, rosemary, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Continue to cook until well caramelized.
  • Turn off the heat, add the bourbon and allow it to flambé and burn away the alcohol. Then reduce it by two thirds. Add the syrup, both vinegars and continue to cook until the liquid is thick and syrupy. Add in the bacon and keep warm.
  • Heat the BBQ to medium heat. Grill sausage rounds until cooked through, approximately 4-5 minutes per side. Place ½ oz of cheese on each round to melt. Toast sliders and buns then set aside. Build the sliders, and top each sausage round with a spoonful of compote. Serve hot.
