Serving Suggestions

I love to spread some bacon jam on a breakfast sandwich. It's also great on burgers or served as part of a cheese board.

Helpful Tips

Cook bacon for a few minutes to render fat. To remove most fat, cook bacon and onions together until onions are soft. Chill and scoop off fat. Play with spices you like and make it your own.
