Bacon-Tomato Jam

Bacon-Tomato Jam

(about 1½ cups)

Ingredients:

1¼ lb. Roma Tomatoes, quartered

1 small Yellow Onion, chopped

4 cloves Fresh Garlic, chopped

3 tbsp. Olive Oil

1 tsp. Salt

2 tbsp. Apple Cider Vinegar

1 tbsp. Brown Sugar

¼ tsp. Ground Cumin

4 slices Cooked Bacon, crumbled

Directions:

In a large bowl, combine tomatoes, onion, garlic, olive oil and salt.  Spread this mixture out on a sprayed foil lined rimmed baking sheet and bake in a pre-heated 375-degrre oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes.  Turn oven up to 400-degrees and continue baking another 15 minutes or until all vegetables are soft and browned.  Transfer back to the large bowl and crush with a potato masher until you have a consistency of a jam.  In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, sugar and cumin and let sit for 2-3 minutes so sugar can dissolve.  Pour mixture over the tomato mixture and stir well.  Fold in the bacon and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.  To use, just spread on grilled bottom bun before adding the burger on it.

Note:               You could put mixture in a food processor and pulse carefully instead of using the potato masher.
