Philadelphia, PAHow to Make Bacon Jam - What is bacon jam? It's a delicious, homemade condiment made from slow-cooked bacon. It is similar to the Austrian starter Verhackertes but slightly sweeter and more flavorful.


How to Make Bacon Jam

It is made by cooking the bacon with onions, vinegar, brown sugar, and spices, usually a combination of thyme, sage, and pepper. When eaten with crackers, bacon jam is an excellent addition to any meal.

Bacon jam is made by cooking slow-cooked bacon, onion, and other ingredients in a savory-sweet sauce. These ingredients create a relish that is equal parts sweet and savory.

The consistency of the sauce is perfect for spreading on crackers and bread. It is a straightforward dish to make and will satisfy your cravings for delicious smoked meat. While most bacon jams are meant to be eaten right away, you can store them for several weeks to eat on a chilly day.

When making bacon jam, thick-cut bacon is ideal. However, if you can't find thick-cut bacon, you can buy regular-cut bacon. Smoked bacon provides a nice, rounded smoky flavor to the jam.



If you're using pre-cooked bacon, be sure to drain it first because the drippings will not be sufficient. Another common mistake people make when making bacon jam is to use maple-flavored bacon, but this will ruin the flavor of the jam.
