I got a bacon jam burger at a local bar restaurant and it was awesome so I went home and googled a recipe and now I make bacon jam burgers all the time it’s the best thing that’s happened to burgers since ketchup and mustard 😏

[@HectorsSmokeHouse]

That is so cool Mark. And so easy to make 😁

[@carlastiefel9675]

Same I had it in Gatlinburg. I havent been able to find the same one like they made. I will try this one when I get the bourbon

[@Mark-sd7fc]

Carla Stiefel I didn’t have bourbon in the house so I picked a recipe that didn’t have any

[@sarahansen8105]

We have made this over TEN times and LOVE IT

[@HectorsSmokeHouse]

Hi Sara, thats so awesome :-) It makes me so happy when I know people are enjoying the recipes I post

[@shaft5]

Ok so I tried making it just now but i must have done something wrong because the onions did not take on the bourbon flavor. Couldnt taste the bourbon in the onions or the bacon. What did I do wrong?

[@stevelegge3307]

wish you'd curve the end of your fingers when using a knife... I spent the first 30 seconds wincing. 😂

[@HectorsSmokeHouse]

Hehe!! I'm not a chef just a backyard cook but still have all of my fingers and thumbs ............ at this stage :-)

[@jmommer1982]

I just made this exact recipe last night...I never knew that food could make me giggle like a schoolgirl with joy in the finished product!!!! this is SOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!

[@Michaelkaydee]

Fantastic! 👌🏽 (knob of butter in the bacon oil to fry the onions 😈)

[@brendankevinsmith]

I love the recipe. When I have made bacon jam in the past, I loved using shallots rather than onions, as they always practically melt into a jam better than onion does. Good job.

[@sarahansen8105]

back again making this 😂

[@SusiFroggyPorter]

I made a similar one using what I had in the kitchen. Used Spiced rum cause that's what I had along with substituting with rice vinegar, and also added some honey sesame sause. I used both real maple syrup and brown sugar, garlic, paprika, Chipotle black pepper, thyme. Used only two jalapeños as you did but also some dried crandberries I had. Anyways, thank you for your recipe and inspiring me to make some. It turned out really really good.

[@mariabielski3176]

By far my favorite jam!!!!!! I make this all the time ! Everyone is obsessed

[@Axel-im6si]

A great example of how to make this recipe. Clear ingredient list, simple to follow directions. I wish more food channels would use this model. Well done! 👍

[@hendou]

Absolutely incredible! I made this today and it was delicious.

[@HectorsSmokeHouse]

That's awesome Richard so happy you enjoyed it. I agree with you that this turns out really well 😁😁

[@ratlips4363]

Ya have to wonder who the 15 thumbs-down people are. I'm thinking veggies, or maybe anti baconites, or how about freshmen at the local college that are hoping to land favors with the next blonde...you know...they don't mean it, but it works to get between the knees

[@alantracey4386]

just made this with my first time ever smashburger and it was sooo perfect. thanks so much, great recipe and video!

[@marcuscobbins9835]

I have waited to do this and today it's ON. Crossing my fingers 🤫🤔?

[@TexasStyleCuisine]

I am liking that jam. Thanks for sharing

[@HectorsSmokeHouse]

You are welcome :-)

[@THEREALSHOWBBQ]

Hey bro just came across your channel. You have some awesome stuff going on here. I love some bacon jam would love to get my hands on the bourbon bacon jam. Looks delicious. New sub here as well. Have a great weekend.

[@HectorsSmokeHouse]

Thanks 😁 We love the jam, I can eat it just by itself. Just had a quick look at the channel and have sub’d 😁

[@traceyschultz-wilson8966]

I'm going to put it over a bourbon bacon goat cheese pue

[@alejandromartinezluna9126]

Looks amazing! Can't help to think whether it'll taste much like vinegar for using the balsamic instead of others. Does the result have a little taste to vinegar? Thanks guys and awesome recipe

[@HectorsSmokeHouse]

Alejandro, not at all. The sweetness if the brown sugar and maple syrup balance out the acidity of the vinegars, so it definitely doesn't have a strong vinegar taste. Give it a try and see what you think?

[@jefferyc6557]

You can barely tell vinegar was used because the syrup, sugar and bacon the flavors overall do mix well I have made this several times now and just slightly tweak it as to make it more my own taste. You know more spice less sweet or shallot rather than onion, i'm a sucker for thyme so I bump that up a bit too.

[@scriptonite2182]

Somebody really likes to wash dishes

[@Courtzjems]

What’s a good substitute for apple cider vinegar? Can I use more balsamic vinegar? I don’t have any Apple cider vinegar at home

[@notacat7127]

Can I make a rap song too this beat?

[@JoshCartman]

I'm looking to re-create a Bourbon sauce that Carl's Jr. had back in 2013. I'm not sure where you're based, but I'm in the USA, so I wouldn't know if there are any locations where you live. I've never seen a bourbon recipe with syrup. Basically the sauce I'm looking to create, has JUST ENOUGH spice in it to notice, nothing crazy. Also, it is not very runny, AND VERY sticky. There was no bacon, nor onion chunks in the sauce Carl's Jr. used in their Bourbon Burgers. Instead, it was strips of bacon and onion straws. So if I was doing this, I'd leave those two ingredients out and do something with them later. Is this sauce sticky? As in, to the point where you almost have to wash your hands TWICE to get rid of the sticky feeling on your hands? That's kind of what I'm going for.

[@stormyqueens1585]

I’m sold, sign me up! Making some delicious burgers this weekend with that wonderful Bourbon Bacon Burgers.

[@adamo36532]

Would it taste good if you did everything but skipped the apple cider and balsamic?

[@macturkey101]

Looks good, Dave! :-)

[@HectorsSmokeHouse]

Thanks Garth, we loved it. Will be doubling up next time as it’s all gone already 😁 Definitely lifts a burger to another level

[@jammezy4789]

Can you make this with the bourbon or does it ruin it completely? Looks amazing though man.

[@HectorsSmokeHouse]

This will work just as well without the Bourbon. Give it a go and tell me what you think? :-)

[@humbertoraulino]

Do you have an Instagram profile?

[@HectorsSmokeHouse]

Humberto, I certainly do. Either just search for Hectors Smokehouse in Insta or click the Insta logo in my KZbin banner

[@maribererios5140]

[@HectorsSmokeHouse]

[@humbertoraulino]

[@HectorsSmokeHouse]

Cheers Umberto, I so happy you enjoyed the recipe. The bacon jam goes with so many things :-)

[@humbertoraulino]

Hectors Smoke House Dude, I will use in burgers. I'll use good old Jack Daniels. And thank you very much again!

[@BLentz32]

Great flavor combinations.

[@HectorsSmokeHouse]

Thanks, it does go well together

[@사바나나]

look amazing!! thank you for sharing recipe :) i have a question. what if i dont have bourbon? is there anything i can use instead of bourbon?? or can i make it without bourbon??

[@HectorsSmokeHouse]

You can definitely cook this recipe without any alcohol and it will still be great.

[@ham3749]

I would use a sherry vinegar or a balsamic vinegar or whiskey if you don't have bourbon!
