Move over raspberry's, we have a new jam in town and it is insanely delicious!
Bacon jam may sound weird, but there is something about the crispy bacon, soft onions and complexity of spices, that makes it so delicious, its hard to stop eating. I like mine on top of a smoked burger, but there are all kinds of ways you can use it-as a hotdog topping, with cheese and crackers, in a grilled cheese sandwich or even on top of a nice runny egg.
If there is one thing that you find on this website, that you want to try-Make it this one!

- 1/2 Cup Dr Pepper
- 1/2 Cup Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon cocoa powder (mixed in 1/4 cup hot water)
- 1/2 Cup Maple syrup (avoid imitation)

Method
1. Slice up bacon into small pieces, about 1/8th of an inch size. Brown in a cast iron skillet.
2. Finely dice yellow onion and cook until translucent and soft.
