In a skillet, fry the bacon until it slightly crisp. Don't over cook it or it will be too hard in the jam. Remove from skillet and drain on a paper towel. When cooled, crumble into small pieces.

Add all ingredients (including crumbled bacon) into a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium high heat, stirring frequently to prevent it from burning.

Reduce heat to medium low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reduces and thickens to the consistency of jam. Remove from heat and let cool. Transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
