BAM (Bourbon and Maple) Bacon Jam Chutney is a handcrafted gourmet spread. The flavor balance is sweet, savory, and a kick of spice with a texture similar to a chunky chutney or salsa, although I've never seen either of these with BACON, which is why this is extra special! 

Meant to be served warm, the jam creates a combination of inventive flavors that will compliment a perfectly cooked steak (not to mention, save an overcooked one), pulled pork, scallops, chicken, lamb chops, toast, potatoes or even try it on top of soft cheese on a cracker for a quick and indulgent hors d’oeuvre. Honestly, the possibilities are limitless!
 
If this bacon revolution is all new to you, "Bacon Jam" is a new condiment steadily spreading its way across the country.  Now that I mention it, you will begin to see it featured on burgers or as side options to steaks, scallops, and salmon in farm-to-table and 5 star eateries.  So far in my travels, I've encountered similar versions (not as flavorful as MBJ, no bourbon, and who-knows-what kind of bacon).  The names range from  bacon compote, bacon jelly, bacon onion jam, and sometimes include figs.

Marley B' Jam'n's BAM Bacon Jam has taken the inventive spread to another level, enhancing it with a unique blend of flavors including bourbon, pure maple, brown sugar and not one, but three different types of bacon - smoked applewood, hickory, and maple cured for "Bacon Lover's Jam".  The added smokiness of paprika, cumin, fresh onions, and garlic, creates a jam session in your mouth but doesn’t stop until you get hit with the base drum as the chipotle kicks in at the end.  

This is a bacon jam that stands apart from the rest.  

I was first introduced to Bacon Jam at Watertable Restaurant while on a stay-cation at The Hyatt in Huntington Beach. Offered as a side option to accompany my petit filet, I couldn't help but explore. Something magical happened at first bite...it was what love and a connection feels like.

A week later, I could not stop thinking about that unique bacon condiment and in an effort to surprise my husband, I spent a healthy day researching bacon jam recipes. I ended up serving it alongside my first attempt at slow-roasted pork. Little did I know this would be the beginning of many "Jam Sessions", as I worked daily for months perfecting the processes from cooking, intense flavoring, canning, ph-level-controlling, and neighborhood testing.

The flavors, seasonings, textures, and tastes of Marley B' Jam'n's BAM (Bourbon and Maple) Bacon Jam Chutney give you insight into my childhood with favorites like hickory bacon and maple syrup. As the bacon journey continues, you can taste the maturity of smokiness in paprika, cumin, onions, and garlic. BUT then there are more surprises, with a hint of bourbon, espresso and a kick of chipotle peppers at the end.
