Our Maple Bacon Jam is a deliciously sweet and savory condiment made from slow-cooked bacon, caramelized onions, brown sugar, and vinegar, coffee, and spices. The bacon is rendered until crispy, then combined with the other ingredients and simmered until it reduces into a thick, jam-like consistency with a rich, complex flavor. It's essentially a spreadable, intensely flavored bacon condiment.
Here's how you can use it:
- Burgers and Sandwiches: It's an incredible topping for burgers, grilled cheese, breakfast sandwiches, or even a twist on a BLT. The sweet and savory notes elevate any savory sandwich.
- Cheese Boards/Charcuterie: Serve it alongside a variety of cheeses (especially brie or cheddar), crackers, and fruits for an elevated appetizer.
- Breakfast & Brunch: Spread it on toast, biscuits, or English muffins, or add a dollop to scrambled eggs, omelets, pancakes, or waffles for a unique sweet and savory kick.
- Glazes & Sauces: Use it as a glaze for roasted meats like pork tenderloin, chicken, or ham. You can also whisk it into vinaigrettes for a smoky, sweet salad dressing.
- Sides & Appetizers: Mix it into mashed potatoes, use it as a stuffing for mushrooms, top deviled eggs with it, or even add it to baked beans for extra flavor.
