Has anyone here ever heard of or tried Bacon Jam? The orchard market had some for sale from a local supplier, called Midwest Fresh. It’s like a marmalade with bacon in it. It sounded interesting so I picked up a jar to try. It’s wonderful!!
So far I’ve tried it on a bacon cheeseburger (divine!) and last night I used it on Brussels sprouts that I had parboiled before cooking them (stovetop) in the bacon jam. What a great twist! I’m going to keep experimenting with this. I’m sure it would be delightful on cheese and crackers.
I’m sure you could make this on your own. There must be a recipe somewhere online. Anyway, an exciting new find for me!
I have a recipe for bacon jam somewhere - probably on my old laptop. The “trading post” near us sells it, too.
Just put ‘bacon jam recipe’ in your search engine & there are many recipes. You might want to choose one that has similar ingredients to the one you have now since you like it.
If you really want to step out of the box, I saw recipes for blackberry bacon jam & bourbon bacon jam.

Bacon Jam! YES! I’ve made it, mainly to ‘showcase’ Beau’s Homemade Maple Syrup. Highly recommended by all that have tried it. It goes either sweet or savory. Very versatile.

Thanks for the reminder - I just bought bacon, and I see there’s some already in the freezer too, and my canning supplies are already out so what the heck! :)
