i would like to know how to save this like on your other websites (ie) my cookbook
Hi Rangeley, At the moment we don’t have a recipe saver built into the site, but you can easily save this page to your internet browser bookmarks. Do let us know when you end up making the bacon jam and how it comes out! Cheers.
Sounds interesting, can’t wait to try it.
I have not tried this but it sounds like it would be very sweet
Do you spread this on crackers/bread?
I have a strong aversion to coffee – won’t even eat coffee flavored ice cream. What impact tot he taste does the coffee have? Is there a substitution?
Thanks!
It sounds wonderful to me and hope to make it soon. Think I might try adding a little crushed red pepper flakes and maybe a little kosher salt, depending on sweetness.
Absolutely wonderful. I crave both bacon and onions. My husband says he thinks I would eat them both on ice cream. (He probably thinks that is why I wanted to make this)!
Thanks a bunch for this excellent recipe.
Heavenly, especially as this is the height of fresh tomato season!
I just tried this and I did not have any sucess. No matter how long I processed it, I couldn’t get anywhere near a “spreading” consistancy. It came out more like a chunky taffy. I liked the flavor though. It reminds me of teriyaki beef jerky.
i too have an aversion to coffee. and its flavor in anything.. has anyone tried it without the coffee? i am very tempted to try this recipe and just see. bacon and onions are too good a flavor to pass up. i have tried the chocolate recipes on the site leaving the coffee out and with a bit of adjustment as to the chocolate amounts they have come out great.
Yay-ahhhh! I see some gourmet egg-sammiches in my future!
If you don’t have a dutch oven, can you use something else?? Also, are you able to put dutch ovens on flat glass or ceramic stovetops?
this recipe sounds delicious. I can’t wait to try it. we will probably use it on burgers, etc. we love bacon and onions so this will be perfect for us. thank you for the recipe
