I have the secret for making EVERY vegetable, as long as you are a carnivore, taste better. It is not a very well kept secret, since EVERYONE knows about bacon. This recipe started out as green bean bundles from a cookbook I borrowed from my mother. The beans were blanched then slow roasted which left [...]

I have been meaning to make this recipe for a long while now. Ever since Kevin on Top Chef and Lisa at Homesick Texan made their versions of bacon jam I have been dreaming of the day when I would make mine. Like any jam you can make it any flavor you like best. I [...]
