BACON JAM RECIPE
I had never heard of Bacon Jam until my brother told me he had made it and loved it. That was over a year ago and once more I’m wondering why I waited goodbye to form it!

It has a delicious unique flavor which will compliment many foods also as being fantastic all by itself as an appetizer. This recipe is formed within the Crock Pot , which made me extremely proud of the warmth and humidity we’ve been having.
I made this with a thick cut Applewood Smoked Bacon to feature another layer of wonderful flavor. You'll use a thick cut bacon of your choice. No matter what you employ it for, topping burgers or just adorning a cracker with it, your getting to like it.

- 1/4 cup 100 % maple syrup
- 3/4 cup brewed coffee

INSTRUCTIONS :

- Add the vinegar, maple syrup. brown sugar and coffee to the skillet with the onions and garlic. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan to release the bits on the bottom. Add the bacon and pepper flakes to the pan and stir.
