Bacon Jam Pork Sliders with Dill Pickle Slaw
I had heard of this thing called bacon jam a couple years ago and it definitely intrigued me. Don’t ask me why it took me that long to actually make it myself - trust me, after tasting it, I’m wondering the same thing. Bacon jam is a great and simple way to elevate the flavor of your recipes. In this case, I am using it as a topper for my pork sliders. Pork and more pork. Need I say more? It’s the perfect balance between sweet and savory. The caramelized texture and rich flavor makes it the best condiment for so many different dishes, sweet and savory alike. Pro tip, put it on top of some vanilla ice cream and your life will be complete. Bacon jam is technically a relish, so store it in an air tight jar in the refrigerator and enjoy for weeks to come. And you WILL enjoy it! This recipe is one of a kind and a combination of some of my favorite flavors. You really can't go wrong with bacon or dill pickle, am I right? The slaw really brings a refreshing element to this recipe and in my opinion completes it, but if it's not your gig, you can do away with it. I used ground pork and made small patties for this recipe, but you can most certainly substitute pulled pork as well. With that said, get to cooking so you can get to eating! Enjoy!
