Another experiment - 3 Little Pigs!
« on: July 24, 2016, 06:17:16 PM »
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!

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

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.

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.
