Bacon jam may sound unconventional, but this flavorful spread has deep-rooted origins in Southern U.S. culinary traditions. Traditionally a mixture of bacon, onions, brown sugar, and vinegar, this low-carb version is an explosion of umami that fits perfectly into a ketogenic or low-carb diet. Perfect for those craving a touch of sweetness without the carbs, this jam offers a savory experience that’s both versatile and addictively delicious.
Low Carb Bacon Jam is incredibly versatile. It pairs beautifully with cheese platters, serving as a delightful contrast to creamy brie or a sharp cheddar. This jam also works wonders as a topping for grilled meats, adding a rich depth of flavor. For an irresistible snack, try spreading it on almond flour crackers or stirring it into a bowl of roasted vegetables.
