Bacon Jam

It’s sweet, salty and smoky! It may just be your new obsession. It is mine!

First of all, let’s talk about this jam. This is not a typical jam like strawberry or blueberry jam. It’s savory and incredibly good on all kinds of dishes. Try it in quesadillas and sandwiches, on your burger, on a breakfast sandwich or toast, or as a topping on dips. There is an endless possibility for this Bacon Jam.

I had seen a couple of recipes for Bacon Jam online. They all sounded interesting, but they were not what I had in mind for a Bacon Jam.

This recipe has only six ingredients and comes together quickly. It took me about 30 minutes to complete.

Bacon Jam Ingredients

• 8 slices good quality, thick-cut bacon (about 1/2 pound. I used Wright’s)
• 1 cup white onion sliced thin
• 1 clove garlic clove
• 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
• 1/3 cup pepper jelly

Pepper Jelly

Get a good quality, thick bacon. I would get just a plain flavor. Maple or black pepper will alter the flavor.

I used white wine vinegar and can’t promise the same results if you use another flavor.

Tabasco Jalapeno Pepper Jelly is great in this recipe. In stores, it is usually in the ethnic section of the grocery store along with the Mexican and Chinese foods (I know, that’s so random!) or with the jams and jellies (where it totally should be!). If you can’t find it, you can order it at my Amazon store.
