    Bacon Jam Recipe 

    I decided to try this paleo bacon jam recipe. Without any added sugar, I was curious to see how it would turn out.

    It was super easy bacon jam recipe to make......

    You just cooked the bacon and onions on the Saute setting, then pressure cooked with the remaining ingredients. Easy? Yes?

    Most importantly, this pressure cooker bacon jam was DELICIOUS! The natural sweetness from the maple syrup made it perfectly sweet and complimented the saltiness of the bacon. The added chipotle gave the saltiness and sweetness a hint of heat which created a lovely balance of flavors. I loved it! I used it on burgers and I can't wait to add it to my eggs. The bacon jam will refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.

    *Note: I didn't have the instant espresso powder on hand, so I substituted ½ cup of strong coffee in placement of the water and espresso powder when creating this recipe. It turned out beautifully.

      I would make it the way it was written and add 1 to 2 tbs of bourbon. Bourbon can be really strong in cooking... a little goes a long way. You can probably give it a taste and if it needs a little more, you can mix in a bit. But if you add too much in from the beginning, there is no going back. All you will taste is the bourbon.

      I have seen a store bought brand of bacon jam with bourbon in it...... Wonder if you could substitute some of the vinegar for bourbon? Like half and half? Hubby loves bourbon. I made per recipe yesterday and husband is madly in love with it.

      The coffee flavoring gives it a little kick. I don't know what it would taste like without it... But the coffee flavor in this recipe isn't terribly strong. Therefore, I think it would still be good without it, I am just not sure. They say chicory coffee tastes like coffee but is made of roasted chicory root instead of coffee beans. You could try that if you want something similar. Sorry I can't be of more help.

      Katie! I just love bacon jam and had no idea this could be made in the instant pot. I love the chipotle chile in adobo sauce to give it a little smokiness and kick! What a perfect condiment for burgers, steak and chicken. Yum!

      I'm pretty sure this would taste delicious on a shoe. How amazing, tho, with a charcuterie board. Thanks for making me hungry right now 😉 Great recipe, girl!
