Cook time: 20 minutes
Yields: 6 items
Number of ingredients: 15

Ingredients:

• Bacon jam, for spreading
• 6 deli rolls, split
• Pop Pulled Pork, recipe follows
• 6 slices country ham
• 6 slices pepper jack cheese
• Bread and butter pickles, for topping
• 2 onions, sliced
• One 3-pound pork butt (pork shoulder roast)
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• One 12-ounce can pop (I use Dr. Pepper)
• One 18-ounce bottle BBQ sauce
• 1 tablespoon hot sauce
• 1/4 cup brown sugar

How to cook:

1. Spread bacon jam on the bottom half of each deli roll. Then layer on some shredded Pop Pulled Pork and a slice of country ham and pepper jack. Add bread and butter pickles, top with the other half of the roll and wrap in paper.
2. Place the onion slices in the bottom of a slow cooker. Sprinkle the pork with the salt, pepper and garlic powder, then place it on top of the onions. Crack open the can of pop and pour it over the whole thing. Add the whole bottle of BBQ sauce and the hot sauce, then add the brown sugar to the liquid and stir.
3. Put on the lid, set the slow cooker to high and cook for 6 hours. When it's done, the pork will be dark and weird and wonderful. It'll also be fork-tender. That's when you know it's done.
4. Remove the meat from the slow cooker and shred completely. Spoon the fat from the sauce. Return the meat to the slow cooker and keep in the sauce until ready to serve. Divine!

Notes: Chef John's Bacon Jam Recipe, This bacon jam is made with crisp bacon, sauteed onions, brown sugar, sherry vinegar, and seasonings, flavored with balsamic vinegar and olive oil.

How to cook:

2. Add in the bacon, and cook until the fat begins to render and the bacon begins to brown, about 5 minutes.
3. Add in the remaining ingredients (except the salt). Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently.
4. Continue to simmer, stirring frequently, until the mixture is very dark and syrupy. This can take anywhere from 15-45 minutes depending on the fat content of your bacon.
5. Cool completely, then transfer to a food processor. Pulse until well chopped, but not pasty. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 weeks. Yields 16 servings of 1 tablespoon each.

How to cook:

1. Warm a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add bacon; cook and stir until crispy and rendered fat starts to foam, about 10 minutes. Pour bacon and rendered fat into a strainer placed over a bowl. When fat is drained and bacon is cool enough to handle, remove bacon to a cutting board and finely chop.
2. Return the pot to medium heat; drizzle 2 teaspoons reserved bacon fat and butter into the pot. Add onions and salt; cook until until soft and translucent, 7 to 10 minutes.
3. Stir brown sugar, sherry vinegar, 1 teaspoon thyme leaves, black pepper, and cayenne into onion mixture; add bacon. Stir water into bacon mixture and cook until jam has a brick-brown color and thick consistency, 10 to 15 minutes.
4. Remove from heat and add balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon thyme; stir until shiny and heated through.

Notes: Best Bacon Jam Recipe, I like to use hickory smoked uncured bacon. My personal favorite is Coleman Natural which I purchase from Costco. It is delicious bacon and
