Smoky Bacon Jam and more, oh my!

Susan was coming over for a breakfast lunch today so yesterday I started prepping.......

I have seen a few people cold smoking ketchup on another forum so I figured smoking some tomato juice might work as a good base for a smokey bloody mary


Recently King Arthur Flour did a blog post on making Bacon Jam , they made in a pan & a crockpot.... I thought about it and decided it would be a great recipe to adapt to the MAK griddle , so early this morning I put a couple pounds of bacon cut into 1 inch pieces into the griddle until crisp

drained out the grease, added a couple softball sized onions, garlic, cider vinegar, maple syrup, apple juice, coffee, a couple of bay leaves and later some brown sugar

cooked it all down til it looked like this

bay leaves out, little spin around the food processor


I think we both agreed that we would have been happy with a spoon and that batch of jam but there was more planned.....

to be continued

because we didn't have enough bacon already a few strips on the grill, then some breakfast sausage I mixed up this morning into the griddle


then I mixed up some biscuit dough, rolled it out, some pesto on part, bacon jam on all

the sausage and some gruyere cheese

rolled it up cinnamon roll style and cut into slices




hash browns onto the griddle, when they were just about done pushed them back, some bacon on to heat up, and a couple of eggs


mixed up a couple of bloody mary's and plated the food



food was awesome, we had fun , our pups are happy & tired (they are best buds and had a great time playing)

<THUD>

Very nicely done indeed!

Deb,
I'm on my way! That is a killer breakfast! I'd have to walk (I don't run anymore) home to work it off. Your version of "cinnamon rolls" is crowd pleaser. I thought you were making a breakfast pizza before you rolled up the dough. That would make one heck-of-a brunch!

(where's the cat? )

That was very creative and very very impressive. I have never even heard of some of the things you tried but now I must make an attempt at them myself. Very well done Deb.

Outstanding breakfast! I will take 3 plates please...

Squirt, I left the cat home to tend to his sit-in cardboard box-bird watching chores.

That is one fine looking breakfast!! You put out some really fantastic cooks!!
