How do you improve on jam? The same way you improve on almost any recipe — add bacon! Joking aside, this recipe packs big flavor with its salty-sweet goodness. Garlic, onion, and bacon meet brown sugar and maple — with a hit of tang from cider vinegar. Serve it on fancy crostini or bring it to the breakfast table. It adds punch to a bagel and cream cheese and even goes well with scrambled eggs. One other thing: This recipe is packed in tiny half-pint jars for a reason. It requires a large quantity of good-quality bacon and the last thing you want is to crack open a jar only to have it languish and expire in the fridge. On the upside, the tiny jars make great gifts. Finally, don’t be in a rush when making this recipe. It requires time and care to keep the bacon from burning — trust me when I say it’s worth every minute.
