bacon jam

Savory meat preserve

Bacon jam is a sweet-savory condiment made by cooking bacon with onions, brown sugar, and vinegar until it reaches a thick, spreadable consistency.

Despite the name, it contains no fruit—jam refers to the texture.

Popular on burgers, sandwiches, and charcuterie boards: The restaurant's signature bacon jam elevated an ordinary grilled cheese.
