Bourbon Maple Bacon Jam Recipe • OMG... it's so good! | Club Foody


 All right! Let’s get to the point… Who doesn’t like BACON? Yeah, yeah, I know – if you’re vegan-vegetarian the answer is “no” but for the rest of us, bacon seems to make everything taste better.

 
Besides having it with eggs or an omelet in the morning, there are so many ways to enjoy it. I like to use some crispy bacon that I already cooked in the oven as a garnish for soups or as an ingredient for my Old Fashioned Baked Beanssaladsside dishes, and so on. What about some on pizzas, inside a burger (yummy!) or in a sauce like my Poutine with Bacon Gravy! I use the bacon fat (or duck fat, whichever I have on hand) for roasting potatoes in the oven or even when I bake my Maple Bacon Cupcakes! It’s so versatile…
 
Back when I was living in Toronto, I was invited to a party at a vineyard on Niagara-on-the-Lake. I reserved my hotel room (drinking-driving not cool), and went to that party in a town car that I already booked. Everything was perfect; the menu, the pairing, the people, the entertainment, etc.
 
That night, I tasted an unusual condiment as a topping on goat cheese spread on a crostini. I was so blown away by it that as soon as I got back home, I tried to duplicate it. I have to admit that it took me a few takes but now it’s a regular item on my menu… my Bourbon Maple Bacon Jam!
 
OMG! If you’ve never had any my friends, you’re missing out on something soooo incredible! With a touch of bourbon in the background, this condiment is simply spectacular! At first, I added some port just like my vineyard hosts served at their reception but playing with different ingredients, I settled on bourbon with a hint of maple although I do make it once in a while with Marsala wine.
 
You might wonder when to use this Bourbon Maple Bacon Jam condiment. Well, let’s go through a quick list; in a salad dressing or sprinkled on top, enhance your sandwiches, in an omelet or scrambled eggs, added to Vanilla Ice Cream, used either as a topping or ingredient for your burgers, a sauce for a protein, an appetizer with cheese or a condiment item for your charcuterie board… use your imagination, the sky’s the limit.
 
Now if you asked me how long it lasts in the refrigerator, I wouldn’t know what to say. Perhaps a week or two maybe longer! In my house, it goes pretty fast… probably as fast as Chocolate Éclairs which usually only last 24 hours or less before they’re all gobbled up.
 
Do me a favor… try this flavorful Bourbon Maple Bacon Jam and you’ll understand exactly what I’m talking about. It’s amazingly tasty and definitely a great condiment recipe to enjoy anytime…
Bon Appétiti!
