Boozy Bacon Jam, how about it?
Bacon jam is a sweet and savoury condiment or spread that combines the rich, smoky flavors of bacon with various ingredients like onions, brown sugar, vinegar, and spices. While it doesn't have the same consistency as traditional fruit jams, it's a versatile and delicious topping that can be used in a variety of delicious culinary ways. We tried to keep the sugar down, so the texture is definitely not jam like, but the flavour is all there and we are sure you will love it, or those to whom you gift it will love it!
