How to Make Bacon And Tomato Jam
- Cook 1/2 pound of bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
- Transfer the bacon to paper towels to drain excess grease, blotting dry with additional paper towels as needed. Crumble the bacon and set aside.
- In a large saucepan, combine 2 pounds ripe tomatoes (diced), 1/2 medium yellow onion (finely chopped), 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to medium-low.
- Add the crumbled bacon to the tomato mixture.
- Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the jam has thickened considerably and reduced by about half, approximately 1-1.5 hours. The consistency should be similar to a traditional fruit jam.
- Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove from heat and let the jam cool completely.
- Ladle the cooled jam into sterilized jars.
- Refrigerate for up to 3-4 days or freeze for up to 2 months. If freezing, divide the jam among several smaller jars for easier thawing.
