Tips:

Use good quality bacon and whisky. The better the ingredients, the better the jam will be.
Cook the bacon until it is crispy. This will help to give the jam a smoky flavor.
Use a sharp knife to mince the bacon. This will help to prevent the bacon from clumping together in the jam.
Add the whisky to the jam at the end of the cooking process. This will help to preserve the flavor of the whisky.
Store the jam in a sterilized jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
