The Endless Uses of Bacon Jam

Monday, April 4, 2016

Bacon Jam is, well, the jam! Especially when it comes from Rusty at Pine Street Market. Rusty cooks down his savory bacon with a blend of maple syrup and spices to create a tub of versatile, bacon-y goodness. It has endless uses, but here are a few of our favorites!

Bacon and eggs are a natural match, but when it’s bacon jam, it can easily take your eggs to a whole new level. We love mixing bacon jam into our scrambled eggs, or spread a hearty scoop on your toast for an incredible egg sandwich.

Meat up Your Meat

Any meat benefits from the addition of bacon! Adding bacon jam on top of your meats is a great way to layer on the flavors. We love mixing it into ground meats, like this week’s Chicken Bacon Burger. The savory sweet flavor bursts with every bite.

Make a Dressing

Add bacon jam to your favorite vinaigrette recipe to make it extra savory. It’s especially good when topping a cobb salad!

Upgrade Your Waffles and Pancakes

Mixing bacon jam into your waffle or pancake mix adds a little savory and a little sweet to your favorite breakfast treat. The maple syrup that Rusty uses to make the jam really shines here!

Create a Grilled Cheese Deluxe

Your grilled cheese will grow up before your eyes with the addition of a little bacon jam.

Enhance Your Charcuterie

This one’s a no-brainer. Spread a little bacon jam on fresh H&F crackers, top with Red Hill cheddar or CalyRoad goat cheese and voila! The perfect appetizer!

Try it for yourself. Order the Chicken Bacon Burger or add some Bacon Jam from our Local Market!
