Skillet Bacon Spread and Crockpot Potato Soup Recipe

Have you EVER heard of Skillet Bacon Jam???

Check this out (provided information): We make this bacon spread condiment called bacon jam..you say what?.. that’s right, we use niman ranch bacon and render it down along with onions, balsamic and other spices . It cooks for several hours until it is a perfect blend of smoky, tangy, savory and slightly sweet….basically spreadable bacony goodness!  USDA approved.

My take on the product:  WOW this stuff is tasty!  I was skeptical to try the spread/jam but I'm always up for a culinary adventure so I accepted the challenge!  This little jar is full of yummy goodness.  I put some in my potato soup and it was yummy! Other uses, includes but not limited to, use of burgers, base for a vinaigrette, on baked brie (I'm going to try this soon) and on toast!
