- In a deep non-stick wok or large pan over medium high heat, cook bacon. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Discard most of the bacon fat, but leave about 1 tablespoon in the pan.
- Reduce heat to low. In the same pan add onions to cook slowly, stirring often until well caramelised. This will take 15–20 minutes.
- Stir in garlic, brown sugar, honey, vinegar, chilli powder and cooked bacon. Bring to a simmer then reduce heat to low. Cook for 8–10 minutes until thickened and jammy.
- Transfer to a jar and serve, or store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
