Buc-ee's Apple Maple Bacon Jam

Bacon in a jam jar sounds like a dare, but it works. Apples and bacon in a sweet, smoky base make this a spread that goes on almost everything: burgers, grilled cheese, crackers or pork chops.

People search for it as Buc-ee's bacon jam, Buc-ee's apple bacon jam, Buc-ee's maple bacon jam or Buc-ee's jam.

What we like: it's a great conversation starter on a cheese board. Put it next to sharp cheddar and see who goes back for seconds. It also makes a fun hostess gift during the holidays.

Honest notes. It's sweet first, smoky second, so if you're expecting a big bacon punch, it's more of a supporting role. It has pork and bacon, so it's not for vegetarians. Check the details above for ingredients if that matters. Once opened, follow the label for storage. If you like this one, try the Berry Bacon Jam or the Blueberry Jalapeno Jam for a different twist.
