I'm thinking this recipe is super versatile! Put it on some crackers for an appetizer. Throw it on some toast for breakfast. Top some ice cream for a wild & crazy dessert. Heck, the possibilities are endless. Or, just eat it by the spoonful!

Keep refrigerated for 2 weeks.

Ingredients:

1 Package Pederson’s Uncured Cherry Smoked Bacon

1 Red Onion, chopped

1 Clove Chopped Garlic

12 Oz. Frozen Cherries

1/2 Cup Apple Cider Vinegar

1/3 Cup Vodka

2 Tablespoons Maple Syrup

2 Tablespoons Unsweetened Apple Sauce

1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard

Instructions:

1. In large skillet over medium-high heat, cook bacon until crisp. Transfer to paper towels to drain. (We cut the bacon into pieces prior to cooking.)

2. Remove all but 1 tablespoon of bacon grease from the pan. Add onion & garlic. Cook until soft, stirring often, for about 2 minutes.

3. Add cherries, vinegar, vodka, maple syrup, apple sauce, & mustard to skillet. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat & simmer until thickened (about 10-15 minutes).

4. Place bacon & cherry mixture in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until very finely chopped & fairly smooth.
