Bacon and Tomato Jam image

This was recently published in my local newspaper. They recommended it on grilled cheese, hamburgers and tuna salad. I am sure it would be very good with many other things as well.

Time 1h45m

Yield 1 pint, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 lb smoked bacon
2 lbs firm ripe tomatoes, cored and chopped
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 cup sugar
2 1/2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large skillet over medium-high, cook the bacon until crispy, about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer the bacon to paper towels to drain excess fat, blotting it dry with additional towels as needed.
  • In a large saucepan, combine the tomatoes, onion, sugar, cider vinegar, salt and pepper.
  • Bring to a boil, stirring often, then reduce heat to medium.
  • Crumble the bacon into the tomato mixture.
  • Simmer until very thick, about 1 hour.
  • Season with additional salt and pepper as needed.
  • Let the jam cool, then ladle into jars.
  • Can be refrigerated for 3 to 4 days, or frozen up to 2 months.
  • If freezing, divide the jam among several small jars.
  • When ready to use, let the jar thaw overnight in the refrigerator.

I followed the recipe exactly and my jam turned out too runny. I think I'll cook it for a little longer next time.

This jam is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of brown sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of tomatoes, but I actually really liked this jam. The bacon and brown sugar helped to balance out the tartness of the tomatoes.

This jam is so easy to make. I just threw all the ingredients in my slow cooker and let it do its thing.

I love the smoky flavor of the bacon in this jam. It's the perfect complement to the sweetness of the tomatoes.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover bacon. I always have a jar of this jam in my fridge.

I was a bit skeptical about this recipe at first, but I'm so glad I tried it! The bacon and tomato jam is the perfect balance of sweet and savory. I love it on toast with a fried egg.

This recipe is a keeper! The bacon and tomato jam is so versatile. I've used it on sandwiches, crackers, and even as a dipping sauce for chicken fingers. It's always a hit.

I made this jam for the first time last week and it was so easy! I used cherry tomatoes and cooked it for about 30 minutes. It turned out perfectly and tasted amazing. I'll definitely be making it again.

This bacon and tomato jam is a delightful combination of sweet and savory flavors. The bacon adds a smoky richness, while the tomatoes provide a bright acidity. I served it on top of grilled cheese sandwiches and it was a hit!
