The Bacon, Bourbon and Onion Marmalade is a savory and delicious addition for sandwiches, burgers, grilled cheese, and if you are a southerner…egg and marmalade on toasted white (Wonder) bread. However, you can spread it on whatever tickles your taste buds. The fantastic flavor of the marmalade and the sweet and salty flavours of the bacon will inspire you to make this marmalade over and over again.
