Ingredients

  • 10 sundried tomatoes hydrated in hot water for 10 min.
  • 1 pound bacon thick cut, diced
  • 2 tomatoes Roma
  • 1 yellow onion
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  • Heat a pan over medium heat and add diced bacon. Cook until the bacon renders its fat.
  • Add diced onion and sauté with the bacon until softened. Season with salt.
  • Add diced tomatoes, sugar, vinegar, and cayenne pepper. Reduce heat to low and simmer until the mixture thickens to your desired consistency. This will take about 20 minutes for a spreadable jam consistency. Keep heat on low to caramelize but not burn the mixture.
  • Let the jam cool to room temperature.
  • If you are happy with the consistency, store in an air tight container. If you would like a smoother consistency, run the mixture through a food processor to your taste. Then store.
  • Yields 1.5 cups, calories are calculated per tablespoon
