Cook the Bacon
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat. Leave about 2 tablespoons of bacon fat in the skillet.

Simmer the Jam
Add water to the skillet and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook uncovered for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and becomes jam-like.
