Finally, My Post About Bacon Jam
Whhaaaa, you say? A post about bacon? A post about jam?
Is it a condiment? An entree? A dessert?
Yes to all of the above.
About a month ago, my friend Jonathan gave me a tin of this stuff. He does some work with the folks that make it and after cajoling him for about 3 weeks, he finally brought me some to try out. He is a good person.
When you think of Bacon Jam, a whole bevy of ideas come to mind about what it is. Quite simply, it’s bacon that’s been rendered and then simmered for SIX HOURS with onion and spices. The result is complete tastiness. If you don’t believe me, know that I am not the first one to write about the virtues Bacon Jam – just see Matt’s homage.
So much like Bubba from Forest Gump, I spent a day thinking about ways to prepare my first Bacon Jam dish. And because I am perpetually on a diet, I decided to enlist my friends Katharine and Haakon to join me on my first Bacon Jam tasting (a.k.a to keep me from eating the whole tin). At the end of the day we all decided what could be better than bacon on Bacon Jam action?
My only complaint was that we should have put more Bacon Jam on the sandwich.
Mmmm … mmmm …
And because I’m feeling all lovey dovey about all of you … I am doing a Bacon Jam giveaway. My first (but not last! more to come!) giveaway! Yay! I LOVE YOU MAN!
One randomly chosen BIME reader will have an 8 oz jar of Bacon Jam sent directly to your home so you too can experience Bacon nirvana. Just enter by leaving a comment (along with your name/email) on this post.
Comments will be closed on Sunday at midnight and the winner will be announced on Monday, July 27th.
If you can’t wait to try it, just order it here.
Sadly, I believe Skillet Street Food only ships domestically. That means if you are from Canada or Australia, as a good portion of you are, you get no bacon love this time. Sorry guys. xo.
PS. Skillet Street Food is not paying me to say this, nor are they sponsoring this giveaway. I would tell you if that were the case.

Bacon Jam combines the idea of two favorite foods in our household – bacon and jam. Hard to think of a better product. Please pick me
As a person who loves to make jam I am intrigued. This must be good.

Oh, I have tasted nirvana and it is bacon jam. (Bacon anything actually) I’d be happy to twitter to all my pals about bacon jam and Bacon is my enemy for a jar of Bacon Jam.
Ok this just sounds amazing, I’d love to try it!
Please pick me
My daughter loves bacon so much we actually call her Bacon. She would love this!
At first I was all, “Ewwwwwww!” But then my brain started dreaming up ways that I could use some Bacon Jam. I’m thinking of smothering cheesy potato skins with some Bacon Jam, or using it on cheeseburgers. I might even be adventurous enough to try a bacon jam and peanut butter sandwich. You never know what might taste good.
::crosses fingers:: I hope I win me some BACON JAM!
ohh bacon…
Was that a bacon bacon sandwich??? Bacon on bacon jam toast??? Sign me UP. For shiz.
.-= Erin´s last blog ..Me Time =-.
BACON!! This makes my day. I still tell people about your bacon recipe from way back with the cheese and it’s rolled up…Now I’m going to have to make that. Mmmmmmm. Anyhoo, did I mention how beautiful and lovely and genuinely wonderful you are? No? In all honesty, you have a wonderful blog that I love reading, regardless of bacon jam.
I’m a vegetarian.
And I want the Bacon Jam.
Give me the Bacon Jam.
Pigs died. I want the Bacon Jam anyway.
Ha! My husband would eat that sammy with his beloved bacon beer. Bacon Nirvana.
Baconjam is made of win! I wonder how it would go with fresh halibut???
I’ve never commented before but just to let you know, your blog is on my daily read.
Hilarious! My husband would flip!
AWESOME. That sandwich looks AMAZING. Can you make one and send it along with the Bacon Jam tin? WOW.
I think the sandwich looks amazing, but that the bacon jam is kind of weird. That said, my husband would love me on a whole new level if I presented him with this, so pick me!!
.-= Susan´s last blog ..Can You Answer These Questions? =-.

I discovered your blog about eight weeks ago. I was watching an episode of Momversation with you in it and you just caught my interest, so I started reading your blog. And I can relate to the desire to lose weight. I’ve been wanting to lose 30 pounds since I was in high school. I think my website would be named “Chocolate Covered Pretzels are my Enemy”, though. So I’m totally ok with Bacon.
Oh, and you totally rock and if you’re ever in the SF Bay area let me know.
OMG. Bacon Jam? Whoever invented that has a special place in heaven. I just gained 10lbs reading this.
Pick m…..oh! I thought you were giving away a CD of Lisa Lisa and the CULT JAM!
Never mind! Carry on!
Girl you don’t even know. I must try this. I’m all out of baconaise and my bacon salt supply is diminishing. I need my bacon fix, lol!
thanks for the giveaway and many thanks for your blog.
I hope I win! Nothing sounds good to my pregnant belly right now, but that bacony goodness sandwich with bacon jam looks YUMMY. And obviously it wouldn’t be the same without the bacon jam.
.-= Becky´s last blog ..Hungry for nothing =-.
Holy heavens – bacon jam!!! Must win so I can try it. If I don’t, I’ll probably purchase anyway, because I’m a sucker like that!
jiminy cricket — bacon jam?! how could i not have previously tasted this??? i would love to try. YUM.
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM…………… BACON!
.-= Liz´s last blog ..Summer Vacation: Day 3 =-.
OH man. Bacon Jam. Things like that should be illegal.

This is officially the best giveaway ever. EVER. How the hell have I grown up and lived in the deep south for this many years and never heard of bacon jam? Wow.
