If you like foods that are a little sweet, a little savory, then I have the perfect recipe for you – bacon jam. It’s an undisputed fact that everything is better with bacon.

Jim Gaffigan says that bacon is like the fairy dust of the food community – bibbity bobbity BACON! Spoon this jam over a warm wedge of brie, put it on your hamburger, or just scoop it up with carrot sticks or crackers.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound bacon
• 1 white or yellow onion, chopped
• 2 pounds tomatoes, chopped
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Preparation:

1. Fry bacon in a large pan until crisp. Remove bacon to a plate. Leave 2-3 tablespoons of the drippings in the pan.
2. Now add the chopped onions and cook for 5-7 minutes, until soft.
3. Crumble the bacon and add it back to the pan, along with all other ingredients.
4. When the mixture begins to boil, reduce heat and simmer for about an hour, till it’s thick and jammy.
5. Let it cool, then enjoy! Place any unused jam in a sealed jar in the fridge. It will keep for up to a couple of weeks, but if you haven’t eaten it in a week, I’m disappointed in you.

Let me know if you end up trying the recipe! I know you’ll love it.
