Bourbon Style Bacon Jam image

Wow, just recently I learned about bacon jam. It is one of the most incredible things I've feasted upon in a very long time. Some of us went to a new local mini-brewery where they served bacon jam and I fell in love! I've tried a few now and this one is by far my favorite from Evil Shenanigans. Served on burgers, a panini, or just plain toast, it's over the top!

1 large sweet onion, cut into 1/4-inch thick slices
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
3 garlic cloves, minced
