onion bacon jam
My family LOVES sweet and savory. I made this jam for Christmas and everyone went crazy. It's sweet. It's salty. It has bacon. It's amazing. We live to use it on grilled cheese, burgers, baked Brie, crackers, breakfast sandwiches, in casseroles, add to sour cream with onion powder and make AMAZING French onion dip. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do. (Should keep about 3 weeks in the fridge in a mason bar or sealable container.)
