I am always creating spreads for sandwiches and fillings for appetizers. I was looking for a different ways to incorporate bacon and Habanero peppers. When, I first made this with orange marmalade and spicy habanero peppers and it was amazing. This time around I wanted something a bit more subtle and this is what I came up with.
I hope you give this a try, i this Maple and Brown Sugar Bacon Jelly, is perfect with my Easy Cheesy Beer Bread, or as a sandwich spread for Paninis or any “sammie” you prefer!!

Maple and Brown Sugar Bacon Jelly
A spicy condiment that is so versatile, it may just begin a new craze!
** You can omit the rum in this or add rum extract but I love the way the dark rum intensifies the spread.
