Open a jar of savory bacon jam to be immediately transported to a mouth watering place. This savory spread goes beyond mere chutney to bring an intense smoky richness to any dish. As a low sugar alternative to traditional fruit jams, our Wake’N Bacon Jam highlights the layered flavors of bacon and caramelized onions. It takes advantage of the unique properties of LM Pectin and neutral Calcium Lactate to create a jam with little added sugar.
Spread on your favorite breakfast sandwich, or revise an old classic with a Modern BLT. Try it on hot dogs, burgers, grilled cheese, or punch up a crostini.

5 – 8oz mason jars? My attempt only yielded 3 jars.

Double-checked, should have been 5 x 4oz mason jars.

The question about using sous vide I’ve caramslized onion sous vide so that bit works. I’m going to have a go, nothing ventured nothing gained.

First attempt using a thick cut hickory smoked bacon tasted pretty good. I enjoyed the savory bacon/onion flavor punctuated by the mustard seeds. My only complaint was overall it had a fairly heavy/thick aftertaste (I presume from the bacon fat used to carmelize the onions). May try again, but cut the bacon fat to 1-2 Tbsp or drain after the onions are cooked down.
Curious how/if recipe could be adapted to sous vide to preserve in the jars while cooking?

In the equipment section it lists a superbag. Where in the recipe is this used?

Hi Joe, The Superbag is used for straining the mustard seeds.

Recipe calls for 3 tbsp LM Pectin, but the pectin chart states 0.8-1.2% usage ratio / pectin needed. For 5 x 4 oz jars, wouldn’t that be a lot less than 3 tbsp? Essentially, I’m wondering how much pectin is required for a standard 6 cup jelly batch. Thanks in advance!

We’ve updated the amount in the recipe, it should be 1 Tbsp 1 tsp.

Today I made a second batch of jam. Just like the first a couple of years ago it failed to jell. I used Walnut Acres brand for years with no problems. Obviously I am doing something wrong with your product. Please advise.
