Bacon-Onion Jam
By :
Sweet, smoky, salty, and tangy, this mélange of caramelized onions and bacon is the perfect way to top a wheel of baked Brie or a burger. This recipe makes a fairly chunky jam. If you want it a little smoother, transfer the finished jam toa food processor and pulse a few times.
