Bacon Jam

---

I saw this thing called bacon jam being served on one of the episodes of eat st. On food network. So off i went in search of a recipe and found this one by not quite nigella. I did make a slight adjustment.

Steps

---

In a non stick pan , fry the bacon in batches until lightly browned and beginning to crisp.

---

Fry the onion and garlic in the rendered bacon fat on medium heat until translucent.

---

Transfer the bacon , onion and garlic into a heavy based cast iron pot and add the rest of the ingredients except for the water.

---

Simmer for 2 hours adding 1 / 4 of a cup of water every 25-30 minutes or so and stirring.

---

When ready , cool for about 15-20 minutes and then place in a food processor.

---

Pulse for 2-3 seconds so that you leave some texture to the jam or of course you could keep whizzing and make it a smoother and more paste like.

---

Serve on your favorite burger , grilled cheese , as an appetizer on crusty bread.

---

The possibilities are endless.

---

Enjoy.
