Notes

Tips for making bacon jam:

Freeze the bacon for 30 minutes before chopping to make it easier to slice.
Switch up bacon and use peppered bacon for a different flavor profile.
If shallots are not available in your area, a substitute is red onion.
If fresh thyme is not available, substitute in 1 teaspoon dried thyme.
