1
In a medium skillet over medium-low heat, cook the chopped bacon until crisp, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes.
2
Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, and discard the bacon fat in the skillet.

In the same skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.
4
Add the chopped sweet onions to the skillet, and sauté for 10 to 12 minutes or until tender and caramelized.
5
Stir in the balsamic vinegar, light brown sugar, and kosher salt, cooking for about 1 to 2 minutes until the sugar dissolves.
6
Reduce the heat to low, and cook the onion mixture for an additional 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are very tender and brown.
7
Remove the skillet from the heat, and stir in the chopped fresh chives, chopped fresh thyme, and the cooked bacon.
8
Allow the jam to cool completely (about 20 minutes) before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
