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.
