One pound maple bacon, finely chopped
1 red onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 large tomato, finely chopped (about a cup)
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
1/2 cup apricot jam
Cook bacon in a large skilled until about 3/4 done, when it starts getting super foamy you know ur there
Remove 3/4 of the grease (save for something else) add the onions and mix well
Cook 3-4 minutes, then add garlic, stir through for about a minute then add tomato
Mix well then let simmer about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the color deepens
Add vinegar, cayenne, pepper and jam - stir well to combine and turn to low and leave it mostly alone 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally
Put in a bowl and use either right away or at room temp later
NOTE: while this will keep in the fridge a couple weeks, you’ll most likely use it up before then
