Bacon Jam

I prefer my candied bacon whole I think.


If you really like the flavor of bacon on toast, please do yourself a favor and make Bacon-Butter (my recipe):

In a mixer, mix three cups of heavy cream and one and a half cups of liquified (rendered) bacon fat.


Mix until it butters and seperates from the whey.

Put in pan and make bacon-butter "texas" toast.

Die happy.

Ok. Major alteration. I kept tasting it as it simmered.....it was coffee jam with a bit of bacon flavor, so I added 1 cup of cranberry/pomegranate juice and let that reduce down. Muchbetter! I think the extra summer time released some bacon flavor as well. It tamed down the coffee flavors as well.

I had that same thing too as i let it simmer. Mine took nearly 4 hours to complete reduce down. By that time the coffee flavor had subsided, blending nicely with the rest of the ingredients.
