Bacon jam is a bacon-based relish, similar to the Austrian starter Verhackertes. It is made through a process of slow cooking the bacon, along with onions, vinegar, brown sugar and spices, before mixing it in a food processor. In 2015, Martin and Suzie Cowley of Wales claimed to have invented Bacon Jam.[1] However, Chef Mike Oraschewsky stated they started making Bacon Jams in 2013.[2] Josh Henderson of Skillet Street Foods has been selling Bacon Jam as of 2010.

Bacon jam, like fruit jams, requires a certain level of sugars to be officially labelled 'jam'.
