Morsels of Life - Bacon Jam - Sweetly savory and full of bacony goodness, this bacon jam's sure to please.

When I first saw this recipe on Food Renegade, I knew I had to make it. I mean, how could I not make a jam full of sweetly savory bacony goodness? Plus, you can eat it so many ways - on toast/crackers, with cheese, in an omelet, as a dip, as a dressing, not to mention just with a spoon. (No judgement here!) If you've never had bacon jam, it's kinda like when you're having pancakes with bacon (or Bacon Pancakes) and the maple syrup has a delicious run in with the bacon - only better.

Many recipes call for bacon strips, and you certainly can use those (you'll need about a half pound uncooked). However, I had cooked up on all my bacon previously, so I used them as bacon bits. Starting with crisped bacon bits also allows you to skip the food processor, meaning one less thing to clean - sounds like a win to me!

How are you going to use your bacon jam?
