Tomato Bacon Jam
Ingredients
- 1 cup diced bacon
- 1 cup diced yellow onion
- 2 cups diced Certified SC Grown tomatoes
- ½ cup apple cider vinegar
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Place the bacon in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the bacon begins to brown and the fat has rendered.
- Add the onion and tomatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and the tomatoes begin to break down, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add the apple cider vinegar and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer until the liquid has reduced by about half.
- Stir in the brown sugar, chili powder, and paprika.
- Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer, stirring frequently, until the mixture is thick, glossy, and jam like, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly before serving, or refrigerate until ready to use.
Notes
Works well as a topping for burgers, sandwiches, crab cakes, biscuits, or crostini.
