Bacon Cheddar Jalapeno Cornbread image

This is the result of combining a number of my favorite cornbread recipes. The first time I made it, I had people begging for the recipe. The problem was that it didn't exist, as I had just improvised it as I went along. Here's my attempt to put it down in words.

Time 1h10m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 slices bacon
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
¼ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons baking powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 cup milk
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
3 extra large eggs, lightly beaten
1 (8 ounce) package shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
3 jalapeno peppers, diced

Steps:

  • Fry bacon in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate; reserve remaining bacon grease in skillet. Crumble bacon.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place skillet with bacon grease in oven.
  • Combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk milk, buttermilk, butter, and eggs in another bowl; stir milk mixture into flour mixture until just combined. Batter will be slightly lumpy. Fold in Cheddar cheese and jalapeno peppers. Allow batter to rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.
  • Pour batter into hot skillet and sprinkle with crumbled bacon, gently pressing bacon into batter.

This recipe can be used for spooning on Granny's old-fashion biscuits, or put a dollop on fluffy scrambled eggs. On a toasted slice of a crusty bread or good crackers it would be divine. Whatever you use this for, it will work beautifully, because everything is better with bacon!

BACON JALAPENO MARMALADE



Bacon Jalapeno Marmalade image

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 red onions, chopped
6 cloves garlic, sliced
5 slices bacon, diced
5 roma tomatoes, peeled and crushed
3 jalapenos, chopped
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups cider vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • In a large sauté pan, sweat onion and garlic in 2 tablespoons olive oil, until fragrant. Add bacon, cook until crispy. Add tomato and chopped habanero. Stir in sugar and vinegar. Bring a to boil and simmer until desired thickness.

Tips:

  • Select high-quality bacon: Choose thick-cut bacon with good marbling for the best flavor and texture.
  • Use fresh jalapeños: Fresh jalapeños will provide the best flavor and heat to the marmalade. If you can't find fresh jalapeños, you can substitute canned or jarred jalapeños, but reduce the amount you use to taste.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the bacon, don't overcrowd the pan or the bacon will steam instead of fry. Cook the bacon in batches if necessary.
  • Cook the bacon until it's crispy: Crispy bacon will add a nice texture to the marmalade. Cook the bacon until it's browned and crispy, but not burnt.
  • Use a food processor or blender to chop the ingredients: A food processor or blender will make quick work of chopping the bacon, jalapeños, and onion. If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can chop the ingredients by hand, but it will take longer.
  • Simmer the marmalade until it's thickened: Simmer the marmalade over medium heat until it's thickened and reduced by about half. This will take about 30 minutes.
  • Taste the marmalade and adjust the seasonings: Once the marmalade is thickened, taste it and adjust the seasonings to your liking. You may want to add more sugar, salt, or pepper.

Conclusion:

Bacon jalapeño marmalade is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's perfect for sandwiches, burgers, chicken, fish, or even as a dipping sauce for crackers or bread. The combination of sweet, salty, and spicy flavors makes this marmalade a real crowd-pleaser.
