Oct 21 2009Why Didn't I Think Of That?: Bacon Jam
Bacon Jam is jam made out of bacon. It is probably man's crowning achievement and goes great on toast alongside some super-runny eggs. I know this because I have a knack for choosing incredible food pairings. You ever tried peanut butter and jelly? That shit's legit!
.....what the heck is bacon jam?...
It is something we've been cooking up for a couple of years now on our trailers and for our burgers.......we take a big bunch of really really good bacon, and render it down...add a bunch of spices..onions, etc..and let it simmer for about 6 hours...give it a quick puree, and blast chill it...and you have bacon jam..
8oz jars will set you back $17 including shipping and probably won't even last a day at the rate you go through bacon. Admit it, glutton. Order two.

Smear that bacon jam between two peices of scapple, and you have probably the most delicious disgusting sandwich in history!
(Do you know what is in scrapple? If you did, you'd probably never eat it, but god damn it is good!)

And you want to know why you are all sofa king FAT!!
What is with the American Bacon crazy going on? Bacon vodka http://bakonvodka.com, Bacon Ice Cream http://www.baconicecream.com/, Geekologie just did the bacon lamp. Gezz! Not a good time to be a member of the porcine family!
Hell! You can even wash it all down with some bacon flavored soda!

29. Muesli - October 21, 2009 7:51 PM
Let's be honest, this wa only a matter of time. And it makes me HAPPY - and strangely horny... i guessy mhm bacon etc. Now if only I knew what "render it down" means. Cause i'd copy the recipe and become rich! No srsly
30. J - October 21, 2009 10:18 PM
"It is something we've been cooking up for a couple of years now on our trailers..." well, that just about says it all doesnt it. How long before it becomes two slices of thick bacon with a slice of bread in between???
hang on.............mmmmmmmm nom nom nom
31. Tom - October 21, 2009 11:04 PM
I'd buy it if I saw it in a store!
Delicious :D

I'm making some for Xmas (no, really http://www.notquitenigella.com/2009/10/08/bacon-jam-your-wildest-dreams-come-true/). Bacon jam and homemade Nutella.
I will send you some, if you want. You deserve it for your site making me happy.
I made bacon vodka a few years ago. This year, it was Spam vodka. I was told it was one of the nastiest things people had had. Not the vodka...but all the fat that didn't get filtered out.
