This past weekend, May 12th and 13th, I had the pleasure of displaying my products for Long Pond- Hot Tub | Fireplace | Fence at the Zoo Crew – Relay for Life Carnival at the Brooklyn Fair Grounds in Ct. During the event I had time to meet some of the other vendors. One in particular was Shannon’s Jammin’, Shannon makes homemade jam from scratch in her kitchen in Old Lyme, Ct. I sampled a couple of her jams and bought the Bacon Jam and the Apple-Pear Jam. I told Shannon I would create a marinade and pass along along the recipe and results of the pork tips. The tips were great and you could get a little hint of the Apple. BTW – I put the Bacon Jam on an egg sandwich this morning – Yummy.
Here’s the recipe, ENJOY!
