Bacon jam

I am making this recipe.  It has about 90 more minutes to go.  I will report back.

This message is posted as a public service, from the deeply-held belief that everything is better with bacon.

Oh, like jelly.  I thought you were talking about a traffic jam, only with bacon, like you stuffed so much bacon in your esophagus, it got stuck.

'Cause that would be pretty awesome, too.

Oh. My. Gosh. 

It tasted like the love child of bacon, pulled pork and a bit of heat.  I substituted 1 tablespoon of Siracha for the Tabasco sauce in the recipe.

Physics, it is worth the effort (or, in your case, a night or three on the couch).

Bacon jam

Ran it by the wife.  I got permission to try it, RSN.  I may try substituting black strap molasses for maple syrup.

Black Strap may be an interesting substitute.  Might try that next time...

If I were to use molasses, it would be unsulfured.

Maybe some sorghum?

It can be surprising what foods, when combined can actually taste excellent. The first time I heard of jalapeno it seemed pretty strange, but the Chief's wife brought some to work for me and I was hooked.

Extra sharp cheddar and peanut butter sandwich, sharp cheddar on hot apple pie, blue cheese on steak, etc.

From reading that link, it seems to just be potted meat, yes? Why is this so special?

Not just meat. BACON. Bacon makes everything better. As soon as I have acheived god-hood, bacon will be in the communion. Bacon and mead. Not to symbolize anything, but just because bacon is delicious.

I just had some butternut squash ravioli for dinner.  For a sauce, I mixed together some heavy whipping cream, some gorgonzola cheese and a spoonful of bacon jam.  Ahhh, heavenly.

Flavor (sweet, savory, a bit spicy).  I've never had potted meat that tasted like this or even close.
