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 🍅 This Tomato Bacon Jam is officially going on every burger and charcuterie board I make from now on. SO. DANG. GOOD. 🔥 Would still be delish without the bacon for my vegetarian friends. Just add some oil in the pan before you add the onions 👍🏼
Tomato Bacon Jam
Ingredients
- 12 oz package of bacon
- 2 lbs tomatoes cut into chunks

- 1 tsp ground mustard
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
Instructions
-
Heat a Dutch oven or deep skillet over medium heat. Add in bacon and cook until crispy.
-
Remove the bacon and set aside. Add the onion and jalapeño into the same pan. Saute for about 5 minutes then add in remaining ingredients, crumbling the bacon in small pieces as you add it back in.
