Tip

Optional additions: 1 Tbsp seeded mustard; or ½ tsp chilli flakes; or 20g dried cranberries (good served with Christmas roast meats).

I have a coffee machine so I use 2 double shots each with 25ml water. The coffee taste is not at all obvious, it just adds more depth to all the other flavours.

This is the most amazing jam and can be used with so many things.  For example:it will turn your humble burger into a gourmet burger,

  • boring sandwich fillings get a lift,
  • bake it on top or in the middle of your meatloaf,
  • inside your toastie with melted cheese,
  • a tasty sauce to eat with your omelette,
  • with your breakfast scrambled eggs,
  • as part of a party charcuterie or cheese platter,
  • as a finger food spread on crackers with cream cheese,
  • or fill small tart or vol au vent cases,
  • serve alongside roast meats,
  • BBQ meat condiment,
  • on top of a T-Bone steak,
  • on top of baked potatoes,
  • as a pizza base sauce.

If you enjoy it with something else not listed above I’d love you to tell us in the comments below.

    Submitted by sam.hargreaves on 27. October 2019 - 19:34.

    I've just made this (with extra 50g of bacon, and extra 15 g coffee) but other than that - to the letter. It is still runnny - and I mean like liquid. When it finished cooking it seemed like bacon in a coloured liquid - no thickening at all. It's been cooling a couple of hours now and doesn't look much better. Will it continue to set? Should I cook it more until it reduces?
    Any other suggestions?

    Yuuuummm 😋😋 I just made this with left over maple glazed Christmas ham and wow! It’s so yummy! Also I used the TM5 veroma speed (125*) coz I didn’t really that tip at the bottom. It’s still fine but a little burnt bit on the bottom of the bowl but didn’t effect the taste at all

    Will be delish in rolls with left over ham and salad or with cheese and crackers tmrc_emoticons.) can’t wait!

    Submitted by Nerak62 on 19. September 2016 - 11:11.

    My husband made this a few days ago, and loves it.  The jam was really dry, but that is probably because he used homemade bacon which doesn't have the water in it that storebought has.  I'm sure he'll be making this regularly, but adding extra liquid.  Thanks for the recipe. tmrc_emoticons.)

    This has nice flavour, but I personally think it is too sweet. It could have been the scales, sometimes they can be a bit out. I will perfect it next time to my taste. I highly recommend this recipe. Can't wait to try it with idaho potato and sour cream.
