Treat Your Taste Buds to a Canadian-Inspired Chipotle Maple Bacon Jam Recipe

May 4, 2015 by Kathryn 98 Comments

Jump to Recipe

Ever since I was a child, I’ve had a bit of a maple syrup obsession. It’s not something that we had in the house often, but any time we did I would put it on everything from pancakes to oatmeal. Now, as an adult, I always have maple syrup in the house so that I can add its unique, natural sweetness to any dish I desire.

If anyone had asked me, I would have said there was no way to make maple syrup any more delicious than it already is, but PURE Infused Maple Syrup has found a way with its unique syrups infused with complementary flavours.

From Lavender & Chai to Chipotle & Lemongrass, these syrups take a product I already adore to a gourmet level! Recently I received all five varieties of PURE Infused Maple Syrup so that I could cook up a tasty recipe that showed off the syrup in a unique way.

A sweet treat is a natural choice when cooking with maple syrup, but I wanted to do something a little different and since these syrups are proudly made in Nova Scotia, Canada, I set out to create a recipe that celebrated some of the other delicious flavours Canada has to offer. And so my Chipotle Maple Bacon Jam recipe was born!

Featuring Canadian whiskey, sweet and smoky PURE Infused Chipotle & Lemongrass Maple Syrup and thick cut bacon, this savoury spread with a hint of sweetness packs big flavour into every spoonful. It’s delicious added to burgers or sandwiches, but I also love it on its own on a cracker or a crusty baguette slice!

The chipotle flavour of the syrup was a definite win for creating a bacon jam with the proper complexity. The infused syrup added just the right amount of sweetness and heat to the mixture without overwhelming the other flavours. And I loved that while the spiciness of the chipotle came through well, the maple flavour did too. It blended with the smoky bacon, tangy malt vinegar and rich coffee perfectly!

Don’t have PURE Infused Maple Syrup in the house? No problem! Just substitute regular maple syrup and 1/2 tsp. of chipotle chili powder for similar heat and smokiness!

This Chipotle Maple Bacon Jam recipe was a hit with everyone in my house, and I can’t wait to make something else with the PURE Infused Maple Syrup now that my first creation was such a success. I’m thinking that a sweet Maple Caramel Corn recipe made with the PURE Infused Cinnamon, Nutmeg & Clove Maple Syrup will be my next creation!

If you love maple syrup as much as I do, PURE Infused Maple Syrups are something that you’ve got to try. You’ll love the way they take maple syrup to a new level of deliciousness! And if you’re looking for another great maple recipe to make right now, these Smoked Maple Butter Tarts will wow at your next get-together!

    I am in AB and if anyone can tell me where I can get maple syrup from Quebec I would do cart wheels, only had it twice and it was visiting the eastern provinces! I would try this how ever I am old and plain jane so usually stick to the old fruit flavors like grape raspberry and strawberry. If I could find this product here I would try to make it at least once.

      Definitely, Lilly, though the flavour would be slightly different I’m sure. I substitute instant for regular coffee all the time! 🙂

    I didn’t even know that there was such a thing as PURE Infused Maple Syrup, they certainly sound very interesting and I’m a big fan of maple syrup. I’ll keep my eyes peeled next time I’m out to see if I can catch a glimpse of them. 🙂
