Another experiment - 3 Little Pigs!

[RG 2.0]

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!

+1  for the recipe

 

[DivotMaker]

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 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.

 

[DivotMaker]

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!

 

[Smokster]

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.

 

[Libohunden]

I'll be making a batch of this jam tomorrow!  Can't wait!

 

[BedouinBob]

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. 

 

[Libohunden]

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.

 

[EFGM]

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

 

[Pork Belly]

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.

 

[DivotMaker]

Right again, Brian, on both counts. ;D ;D  Thought for the day:  Is there such a thing as "Pork Veal?"
