Instructions

  1. 1 Cook and stir bacon in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until bacon starts to brown, about 10 minutes; drain grease, retaining 1/4 of the drippings. Stir onions into bacon and drippings; cook and stir until soft, about 10 minutes. Stir in brown sugar; cook until onions are sticky and browned, about 5 more minutes. Mix in garlic, cayenne pepper, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook and stir until garlic is soft, about 5 minutes.
  2. 2 Mix in bourbon whiskey, coffee, sherry vinegar, and maple syrup. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and cook until the bacon jam is thickened but not completely dry, stirring occasionally to prevent burning, about 35 minutes. Mix in ketchup and cook 5 more minutes.
  3. 3 Remove from heat, let the bacon jam cool, and pulse in a food processor to a slightly chunky, spreadable consistency. Bacon jam will store in the refrigerator, covered, up to 2 weeks.

  1. 1 Heat port wine in a large stockpot with a lid over medium heat until just below the simmering point. Add bourbon and rum; heat until just below simmering. Save the bottles and their caps for storing leftover glögg.
  2. 2 Meanwhile, place cinnamon stick, orange peel, cloves, and cardamom pods in the center of the cheesecloth square. Gather edges of the cheesecloth and tie with kitchen twine to secure; set aside.
  3. 3 When wine mixture is very hot but not boiling, carefully light it with a long-handled match. Wearing a heatproof cooking mitt, carefully pour sugar into the flames; let mixture burn for 1 minute. Place the lid on the stockpot to extinguish the flames and turn off the heat. Let mixture cool, covered, about 10 minutes.
  4. 4 Add the cheesecloth spice bundle, raisins, and almonds to warm wine mixture; let it cool to room temperature, about 1 hour.
  5. 5 Strain cooled glögg and reserve the raisins and almonds.

Instructions

  1. 1 Select a heat-proof bowl of any size or shape and generously grease with butter.
  2. 2 Combine dates, apricots, currants, raisins, cranberries, ginger, whiskey, orange zest, and orange juice in a mixing bowl. Toss thoroughly to combine.
  3. 3 Pour in melted butter and stir until everything is evenly coated. Mix in egg, heavy cream, and buttermilk. Add salt, pecans, bread crumbs, and flour and mix until batter is very thick and sticky.
  4. 4 Transfer dough to the prepared bowl and press it down to flatten with a spatula. Place a circle of parchment paper over the top and press down to seal. Stretch 2 pieces of plastic wrap over the bowl, then place the bowl on a third piece of plastic wrap. Bring the ends up and over the bowl and seal tightly. Cover the bowl with 2 pieces of foil, then tie a piece of string around and secure tightly.
  5. 5 Pudding can be cooked immediately if need be, but better if left to rest in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight.
  6. 6 Lay chopsticks in the bottom of a large Dutch oven. Place the wrapped pudding on the chopsticks and fill the Dutch oven halfway with water.
  7. 7 Place over high heat, cover, and bring to a boil. As soon as it boils, reduce heat to medium and steam, covered, for 4 hours, checking every hour to see if you need to add more water.
  8. 8 Use kitchen towels and carefully lift the pudding out of the Dutch oven. Snip the string, take off the foil, remove the plastic wrap, and peel off the parchment. Place a plate over the bowl and invert the pudding to unmold.
  9. 9 Brush maple syrup over top. Cut and serve immediately.

Instructions

  1. 1 On the first day, combine candied orange peel, candied citron, candied pineapple, red and green candied cherries, currants, raisins, walnuts, and almonds. Combine orange juice and 2/3 cup bourbon; pour over fruit and nuts. Stir and then cover tightly. Let fruit marinate in a cool place for a full day, or at least 20 hours.
  2. 2 On the second day, line two 9x5-inch loaf pans with parchment paper or aluminum foil and grease the inside with cooking spray. Combine flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, allspice, ginger, cocoa, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl and stir with a whisk to blend.
  3. 3 In a separate large bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy using an electric mixer. Stir in egg yolks until blended and then mix in applesauce, 1/2 cup bourbon, and vanilla until fluffy. Continue stirring, and add flour mixture gradually until well combined. Add molasses and stir to combine. When batter is thoroughly mixed, gently mix in fruit and nut mixture with all of its juices.
  4. 4 In a separate bowl, whip egg whites with an electric mixer until they can hold a stiff peak. Fold egg whites into batter. Divide evenly between the prepared pans. Cover loosely with a towel and let batter stand 8 hours to overnight in a cool, dry place.
  5. 5 On the third day, preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Place a large baking pan on the bottom shelf and pour boiling water into it until almost full. Place a baking sheet on the center shelf and place fruit cakes on the baking sheet.
  6. 6 Bake for 2 1/2 hours in the preheated oven. Check water level and refill if needed. Cover cakes with a sheet of parchment paper, taking care not to let it touch the shelf. Continue to bake until a knife or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour more. Cool fruitcakes in the pans, and set over a wire rack. Once cool, remove cakes from the pans, and leave the parchment paper on. Sprinkle with more bourbon if desired and wrap in aluminum foil. Place in a tin or other sealed container and let sit 8 hours to overnight before serving.

  1. 1 Start at least 10 pounds of the charcoal in a torpedo style smoker. You need a fairly hot fire. Fill the secondary pan with cold water, and wait for the coals to turn white. Soak hickory chips in bourbon with enough water to cover. Rub the roast liberally with steak seasoning, being sure to coat all surfaces.
  2. 2 When the coals are ready, place the roast on the top grate. Throw a few handfuls of soaked hickory chips onto the fire, and close the lid. Check the fire every 45 minutes or so, adding more charcoal as needed to keep the fire hot. Every time you check the fire, add more wood chips. Cook for 8 to 10 hours, or to your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the roast. The meat tastes best when rare: 145 degrees F (65 degrees C), but cook to your liking.
