Though it's frustrating, I think ensuring your bacon is crispy before adding other ingredients could impact the thickness.

Hey there! Ah, bummer about your bacon jam not thickening up. Try simmering it a bit longer on low heat, that usually helps it get that gooey jammy texture. Don't sweat it, you got this!

Don't panic! Bacon jam thickens as the liquids cook down. Crank up the heat a bit (safely!), simmer uncovered, and stir occasionally. Patience is your friend here!
