The exact brand of the bacon is not as important as the cut. Center cut bacon is the best for you to use. Bacon automatically renders a lot of fat. So by using center cut, you will reduce the amount of fat that comes from the bacon after it cooks.

Hickory smoke, or Applewood bacon is also a delicious variety to use for this jam. Those two add an amazing depth of flavor to this amazing condiment.
