I've tried lots of recipes for bacon jam - they are everywhere now. But I wanted one that had more of a kick to it. This is out of this world! I have an appetizer "Bacon Jam and Gorgonzola" that uses this jam. Give this a try. It is easy and doesn't last long. If you like sweet, spicy, and savory this could be the bacon jam for you!
