Bourbon Bacon Jam

January 1, 2012 //  by jimmyjames//  Leave a Comment

Boozy bacon jam.  Just say it out loud… go on… boozy bacon jam.  Careful of the drool on the keyboard.  This recipe calls for bacon, whiskey, ginger and maple syrup.  That should make almost anybody happy…

Bacon jam can be served warm or cold, on pretty much anything you can think of.  Although the recipe calls for a rather large number of ingredients, it is very easy to make.  Enjoy!
