I somehow forgot to post the photos I took in August of my experiments with Bacon Jam. From the Skillet Street Food website:
“…we take a big bunch of really really good bacon, and render it down…add a bunch of spices..onions, etc..and let it simmer for about 6 hours…give it a quick puree, and blast chill it…and you have bacon jam…”
I made grilled cheese with Bacon Jam and chipotle cheddar as well as Bacon Jam corn fritters. Both were delicious. I was able to make a surprising amount of both from one small jar, so I feel it was well worth the $17 it costs when ordering online. The flavor is akin to a delicately spiced pulled pork, and while the texture when cold is a bit off putting, once heated through it is divine.

We all have our weaknesses. Being from the South, mine are often of the white trash variety. This morning, lacking the motivation to brave the overtaxed Muni system, I walked down to the liquor store to pick up what I call my “Britney Spears Breakfast”. This consists of ruffled potato chips, sour cream, and Louisiana’s own Crystal Hot Sauce. Those of you who are familiar with the awesomeness that is sour cream and potato chips will understand. The rest of you, try not to judge me too harshly. And you don’t know what you are missing.
