What is bacon jam?
Bacon jam, also sometimes called bacon marmalade, is a savory-sweet condiment made with onions, bacon, brown sugar, and coffee. The ingredients are slowly simmered until they become a jam-like consistency.
It can be used in the same way as jam, served with cheese and crackers, slathered onto burgers or grilled cheese, or on pizza for lots of bold bacon flavor.
