If you've never had bacon jam before {and assuming you eat and like bacon} then you've pretty much got to stop whatever you're doing now and get {or make} some STAT. Bacon jam is like savory, sweet, delectable morsels of bacon in spreadable form. I bought a jar from Perishable in LA, and it's been the shining star of my condiments shelf ever since. I put it on toast {topped with eggs, blue cheese, and/or avocados}, on burgers, grilled cheese sandwiches, scrambled eggs, apple slices…really, anything {I bet it would be amazing on maple ice cream too!}.
If you don't have an artisanal or gourmet shop near you that sells it, this version from Skillet Street Food and this recipe will give you more reasons to salivate.

I received this product for review a couple weeks ago, and I tried it on EVERYTHING! Scrambled on my eggs, mixed with ground meat for the most amazing burgers and even … on top of pancakes! I’m now a believer of the Bacon Jam for sure! hehe Never tried it with toast though, might just make a batch of those this morning!

UPDATE: Cooked this up Thanksgiving morning and brought it to my sister’s house: HUGE hit. Just used good bacon, no liquid smoke needed. Delicious on goat cheese, with eggs, all by itself …
