My dad gave me the task of using the excess amount of tomatoes he has in his garden and I think I really nailed the assignment š This Tomato Bacon Jam is officially going on every burger and charcuterie board I make from now on. SO. DANG. GOOD. š„ Would still be delish without the bacon for my vegetarian friends. Just add some oil in the pan before you add the onions šš¼
