    This was very dissapointing! Just tasted like chuncky grape jam, nothing savory about it. Expensive to make. Putting on Pinterest as: waste of time and money.

      Maybe you did something wrong, everyone else’s seems to have turned out great

    This is probably a big NO, but has anyone tried this with turkey bacon? I don't eat pork or beef but would love a smoky jam for certain dishes.

      Just saying when your going to put a fried hamburger patty, fried onions, and brown sugar between glazed doughnut halfs why worry about a little pork fat on the bacon.

    This recipe is excellent! I wouldn't quite call it a jam, it's more like a relish but it's absolutely delicious! My whole family loved it.

    This is incredible! I made it for a party and not even a drop was left! Made it exactly as the recipe stated. I Added a few slices of jalapeño to give a tiny kick. Really fantastic!

    This is refrigerator storage only. It cannot be canned safely in a waterbath because it's less than 50% vinegar (so too low acid) and has meat in it. You will get people very sick if you try, no matter if you water bath boil it for 10 hours. As for pressure canning, which anything with meat requires, I'd still be dubious about the safety of that as it is not a tested certified recipe for safe healthy pressure canning. Store it in the fridge and keep everyone healthy!

    After reading the reviews, and knowing my family's preference for spicy foods, I kept the sugars the same, but layered in a spicy layer of 1 jalepeno (deseeded), a tablespoon of red pepper flakes, 1/8 tsp white pepper and a 1/4 tsp of black cracked pepper. I then served it with crostini toasted with olive oil, sea salt and black pepper. It was a huge hit and my mother worried that everyone was filling up on the appetizer. This relish will be my "take along" app for this year's party circuit.

    I made this for a party and was thrilled with it! Make sure you use really good quality bacon with a pronounced salty and smoky flavor. I also added some orange juice. So, so good!

    @kansas girl: you can't really taste the coffee. All the flavours blend beautifully together. Try it on grilled chicken and steak. You won't run out of ways to use this stuff. The only problem is making enough of it to last. I have a 6 quart Kitchenaid slow cooker and a triple batch fits nicely with room to spare. Enjoy.
