I made it today, and I’m in love. It asked for strong coffee, so I went heavy on coffee powder. Didn’t use the exact amount of vinegar asked for, instead I used 3/4 cup. 5 cloves of garlic, because I used half the bacon, and 2 huge, and I mean it, HUGE, onions. Also used a little bit more of maple syrup. It looks just like in the picture, quite dark because of the coffee, and very very tasty. Didn’t think this was very sweet, I can taste the sweet but at the same time I taste the bacon. Because I don’t have a lot of patience I didn’t let it stay too long to thicken it, but it’s all good, it was thicker than when I started, so that was ok. This recipe makes a LOT of jam, next time I’ll cut it all in half instead of just the bacon. Like I said, I’m in love, this is amazing!

I followed the recipe precisely and had no problems with it thickening up. When it was still warm, right out of the pan, I thought it was so good I had to refrain from sticking my head in the pot to lick up the scraps. I pulsed it in the food processor, and it looks exactly like it does in the photos. And then something weird happened: It got sweeter with every bite I took. When it was hot, it was just ridiculously delicious. Now, having had it on the requisite toast with egg, I feel like I’m about to go into a diabetic coma. It is SO freaking SWEET. If I make this again, I’ll be cutting the brown sugar in half, easily. Maybe reduce it to 1/3 or 1/4 cup instead of a full cup. It’s good, but the overwhelming sweetness means it’s not as versatile as I thought it would be.

This was very good. Gave some as gifts and kept one jar for myself. Next time I will cut back on the sweet and add a little spicy though. Had no problems with it thickening up.

I made this 2 weeks ago and it has made everyone in my family very happy. I didn’t have any problems with it setting up. I have shared the recipe multiple times. thanks Rebecca!

I made this over the weekend and like a few others have said, it never really thickened up right. I ended up turning up the heat and giving up before it really got as thick as I think it should have been.

But despite being a bit runnier (when warm, anyway) than is probably intended…this stuff is amazing! We had it on burgers tonight, which was fantastic, but I put it on a tomato and avocado sandwich a couple days ago and it was probably the best sandwich I’ve ever had at home! Delish!

I made this today for a co-worker’s birthday (he is a bacon lover), and I am impressed! I got four jars full, which made me happy because I can keep a jar all to myself. I can’t wait to try this on a BLT sandwich!

This is delicious! I made it as a gift. But I ate the leftovers. Wow! Trying it on French toast tomorrow.
