Ingredients
-
½ pound smoked bacon
-
2 pounds ripe tomatoes, chopped
-
1 yellow sweet onion, finely diced
-
1 cup white sugar
-
2 ½ tablespoons apple cider vinegar
-
1 ½ teaspoons salt
-
¼ teaspoon black pepper
-
1 dash hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco) (Optional)
Directions
-
Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Crumble bacon when cool.
-
Stir tomatoes, sweet onion, sugar, apple cider vinegar, salt, black pepper, and hot sauce together in a saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring constantly to dissolve sugar. Stir in crumbled bacon and cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the spread is very thick, about 1 hour. Adjust salt and black pepper.
-
Cool and spoon into a clean 1-pint glass jar with a lid; store in the refrigerator for 1 week or frozen for 2 months. If freezing, put spread into small jars and let jars thaw in refrigerator overnight before using.
