Bacon Jam Party Platter Recipes

Savory and sweet, Bacon Jam has been showing up on restaurant menus for a while. But now, it’s time it showed up in your home, on your party platters. Perfect for entertaining, Bacon Jam provides a sophisticated yet comfort-foody ingredient to amp up some of your favorite entertaining standby recipes. Why? Because, bacon, of course. Need I say more?

I got to try a couple of jars of TBJ Gourmet’s Bacon Jam and had fun adding it to things I already like to cook, like roasted Brussels Sprouts. But these recipes? Anything that makes Wings, Brats, and Pulled Pork Sliders even better is A-OK in my book. Here are some recipes for you to try for your next party, courtesy of TBJ Gourmet.
