Make Sweet & Spicy Bacon Jam with Heath Riles!

If you love bold flavors, you’re in for a treat with Heath Riles’ Sweet & Spicy Jalapeño Bacon Jam! In this mouthwatering video, he shows us how to create a jam that perfectly balances sweet, smoky, savory, and spicy. It’s the ultimate topping for burgers, smoked cream cheese, or even just on toast.

What’s in This Jam?

This isn’t just any bacon jam; it’s packed with flavor and super easy to make! You’ll need:

  • 1 lb thick-cut bacon, chopped
  • 1 sweet onion, diced
  • 1 fresh jalapeño, seeded and diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp coarse black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup Heath Riles BBQ Maple Honey Habanero Glaze
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar

Step-by-Step Guide

Heath kicks things off by cooking the chopped bacon in a skillet over medium heat until it’s crispy—who doesn’t love that sizzle? You’ll want to set the bacon aside but keep some grease in the skillet for flavor. Next, he tosses in the diced onion and jalapeño, cooking them until softened. A bit of garlic adds a punch of flavor before he seasons it all up with black pepper and red pepper flakes.

Then, it’s time for the secret sauce: the Maple Honey Habanero Glaze! This is where the magic happens. Heath combines that with apple cider vinegar and brown sugar, creating a sticky mixture that’s about to turn your taste buds upside down. After simmering, he brings back the crispy bacon, letting it all meld together for 10 to 15 minutes. The result? A sweet and spicy jam that will elevate anything you put it on!

Why You Should Make It

This recipe is a game-changer for your next cookout or brunch. Whether you’re adding it to your breakfast sandwich or slathering it on a burger, this jam is sure to impress. Heath makes it look easy, and with his guidance, you’ll be a pro in no time.
