Bacon Jam

I first heard about bacon jam from my brother who saw it at a pop up bake shop. However, it was closed by the time he noticed it. Upon hearing this I decided that I should try making it myself...being that it had bacon it seemed right up my alley. Essentially, bacon jam is more of a bacon spread and consists of reduced onions, bacon, and some type of sugar (I used maple syrup). It goes something like this: cook bacon and remove, cook onions until nicely browned, add back bacon and flavorings along with the maple syrup, reduce, and process. I though it turned out pretty well, but next time would probably add something along the lines of bourbon to get more depth of flavor. It seems like it would work well on a breakfast sandwich, burger, or simply on some crostini!
