How to Make Tomato Bacon Dressing Or Dip Or Sauce

  1. Fry 4 slices of bacon until very crisp. Remove from pan and set aside to cool. Reserve 2-3 ounces (57-85g) of bacon grease.
  2. Crumble the cooled bacon into small pieces.
  3. Finely chop 1 medium yellow onion.
  4. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, sauté the chopped onion in the reserved bacon grease, stirring frequently, until deeply browned (about 10-15 minutes).
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup (120ml) water, 2 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch until smooth.
  6. Stir in 2 tablespoons tomato paste until fully incorporated.
  7. Add 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard to the sautéed onions and mix gently.
  8. Pour the water-vinegar-honey-cornstarch-tomato paste mixture into the saucepan with the onions and mustard.
  9. Add the crumbled bacon and a dash of hot sauce (optional).
  10. Stir constantly over medium-high heat until the sauce thickens and begins to boil (about 5-7 minutes).
  11. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  12. Refrigerate in an airtight container for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Enjoy!
