I have not tried this yet.   It was shared on Recipe Swap by BeeBee2, and she never let us down, so I would deem it trustworthy.

Beebee2, if you're 'out there,' a big hello!

Bacon Jam
QVC Recipe Swap | September 5, 2013 | by Beebee2

This recipe fascinates me; I haven't tackled it yet, but it really looks simple. I wonder how many ways you could serve it.

To make the bacon jam, you chop and cook bacon, onions and garlic down with brown sugar and coffee and maple syrup until it turns into jam.

1 lb good-quality bacon; double smoked is good.

1 small onion, chopped

4-5 garlic cloves, chopped

½ cup packed brown sugar

½ cup coffee

1/4 cup maple syrup

1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar, optional

1 Tablespoon grainy mustard, optional

Roughly chop the bacon and cook it in a heavy pot; transfer to a bowl using a slotted spoon, draining off most of the drippings. Sauté the onion and garlic cloves in the rest for 5 minutes, until soft and starting to turn golden. Return the bacon to the pan, add the brown sugar, coffee, maple syrup, vinegar and mustard and cook over medium heat for half an hour, or until deep golden and thickened to the consistency of jam.

If you like, cool and pulse in the food processor for a finer texture. Serve warm or cold.

It is also great on a grilled cheeseburger which is how I had it.

Kitty4me, you're very welcome, I'm glad I could help.  In fact, thank you for reminding me I had it as I agree the recipe does sound great. 

Would you do us all a favor?  If you try the recipe, please come back and give us all a review.

We had bacon jam on a sandwich made by John Besh in NOLA.  It was delicious.  Haven't tried to make it yet.  I found a recipe on Pinterest but I would guess that everyone add "their own touch" to it like most other dishes.  Hope you enjoy it!

Will do IamMrsG.

I have never made it but it is easy to find at high end grocery stores.  I have used on sandwiches.  It reall pumps up a grilled cheese!
