As y'all may know by now I like to experiment quite a bit. Sometimes I luck up and find something worth repeating. This may have been one of those times.
I had my wife put a butt on the Smokin-It #3 last night, she normally cooks on her Keg but lately has been using the SI. I was in the mood for a good BBQ sammie but I wanted to try something off of the beaten path. That got the old wheels turning.
I woke up this morning and made Bacon Jam with Jack Daniels Whiskey in it! Good stuff! I took said bacon jam and spread it on the bottom bun of a nice sub roll and topped it with some smoked pulled pork. On the top bun I put smoked provolone cheese and some Boars Head shaved ham. Toasted it in the oven and then made a BLT of sorts out of it! I added some tomato slices and lettuce and a little mayo.
My goodness was it good! I ate one and was too full to eat anything else. I made a pot of Brunswick stew to go along with it but it'll have to wait!

Jason,
I think I can taste that right through my computer. Great thread.
-
Subway would be out of business if you could market that sandwich.I want a dozen to go.
-
What they said + Awesomeness!
-
A+
Thats $13 at any ballpark.

Dang! Do you have a recipe for that bacon jam??? Wow!

+1 for the recipe

I was totally "in," til the mayo! >:( lol! That looks really, really good! I'd also love to hear more about the bacon jam!
-
Tony, you crack me up with your hatred of mayo :P You can't have a blt w/o mayo!
As for the recipe, I used THIS (http://www.cravingsofalunatic.com/2014/08/bourbon-bacon-jam.html)
The only difference is that I used Jack Daniels #7 Whiskey since I didn't have any bourbon. I also cut the amount to 1/4 cup instead of using 1/2 like the recipe called for. Glad I did, 1/2 would've been too much for my tastes. I just wanted a hint of it and that's what I got! Good stuff! My son ate all but what you see that I used on that sammich! Ate it with a damn spoon right out of the container I put it in no less, lol.
-
Wow, Jason! I'm not a bourbon guy, but I have to try that! And yes, it's OK to have a BLT without mayo...just use a little ranch dressing! ;)
-
Wow, that bacon jam looks good. There are so many uses for it, but i can see this being amazing on pork. What's better than pork complimented with more pork. It's like being in piggy heaven.
I checked out the recipe and I will make half of the batch with a bit more heat for my personal taste.
-
I'll be making a batch of this jam tomorrow! Can't wait!
-
Jason, that looks awesome! Great job on stretching the envelope! :) I personally think we need an intervention to get Tony over his Mayo aversion.... LOL. ;)
-
Bacon jam! Yum! Thanks Jason! I used the full 1/2 cup of bourbon and do not have any overpowering bourbon taste. FYI. Very tasty. Haven't made a sandwich yet but have had a couple of sweet spoonfuls.
-
Thanks Jason, I printed and added this to my List, at the top by the way!
-
While that is a fine looking sandwich I'm a little pissed.
I thought I was going to see there suckling pigs smoked to perfection laid out on a platter.

Oh, that's so wrong! But, oh, so..deliciously...wrong! ;) ;D ;D
-
I think it would be awesome, little personal pick picking. You could hold the head and chew on it like a meat apple. But again that is a great looking sandwich.
-
Right again, Brian, on both counts. ;) ;D ;D Thought for the day: Is there such a thing as "Pork Veal?"
