Since we're on the topic of bacon...had some of this amazing stuff a few days ago. Dangerously good

Bacon has become sort of a strange cultural talisman in America.
Personally, I'll take a well done ham over bacon any day and I wouldn't let either of them near a milkshake.
Mmmm, Ham.
Dad's side of the family always does ham at Thanksgiving and Christmas.
....cooked and garnished with pineapple of course

Bacon jam is something special and quite easy to make.
Good recipe from an excellent food blogger called Niamh, http://eatlikeagirl.com/2011/05/16/choo-choo-all-aboard-the-bacon-jam-train-recipe/
Bacon Jam Recipe
Ingredients
500g streaky bacon (it has to be streaky), chopped into small dice
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 red onion, finely diced
50g brown sugar
50mls maple syrup
50ml cider vinegar
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
250ml fresh brewed coffee (NOT instant – important)
2 chipotles in adobe (1 chillies – NOT 2 tins!), finely chopped
Method
Sauté the bacon over a medium heat until starting to crisp.
Take the bacon out and fry the onion in the bacon fat until softening but not coloured. Add the garlic for about a minute.
Transfer the bacon, onion, garlic to a large pot with the rest of the ingredients (excluding the red wine vinegar). Simmer gently for one hour, adding a little water every 30 minutes if required (I only had to do this towards the end). Add the red wine vinegar in the last 5 minutes.
Shelley recommends pulsing it in a food processor briefly (to retain the course texture) although I felt it didn’t need it as the bacon was chopped quite small.
Ready to serve. Will keep in the fridge too although I doubt you will have any leftover.

I agree. Partnering it with savoury food on here is like admitting to being a paedo though.
Oh wow...never heard of that.
