Guy Fieri Bacon Jam Recipe
This bacon jam isn’t just a spread—it’s a full-on upgrade for anything you put it on.Slow-cooked bacon mixed with caramelized onions and a hint of brown sugar creates a rich, smoky balance.A little apple cider vinegar keeps it from being too heavy, and it brings out all the deep, savory notes.I make sure to chop the bacon into small, even pieces before cooking so everything blends smoothly in the final mix.One of the best parts? It lasts for weeks in the fridge, so you can always have some ready to go.
