How to Make Sweet & Savoury Bacon Jam
Bacon jam is the star of this recipe. While it does require some preparation, it is very satisfying to have a jar of it in the fridge, where it will keep for many weeks. Made with bacon, caramelised red onion, butter, sugar, balsamic vinegar, coffee and brandy, this sticky condiment can be spread on sandwiches, burgers, pancakes and much more.
