Pepper Bacon Cornbread

Cornbread has a way of making any meal feel a little more comforting, and this version is extra special. Our Pepper Bacon Jam adds smoky-sweet flavor, while cheddar, green onions, and crispy bacon make it hearty and full of character. It’s just as good alongside a midweek dinner as it is served warm with cream cheese for an afternoon snack.
