Most of you know that I am anti-condiment. However, should there be a bacon fat votive adorning my table, I would certainly be inclined to drizzle the melting fat onto whatever I’m eating. Rick Gresh of David Burke’s Primehouse created this dual-purpose candle which is also available in a beef suet variety. If you can put one thing on your table to make your meal both prettier and tastier—this is the thing.
I hate condiments and I hate tomatoes (just raw ones). But I actually do love tomato jam—at least the sweet delicious stuff my grandma makes. So when I saw this recipe I was deeply lamenting the failure of my three little tomato seedlings earlier this spring. I was tempted to order a $15 jar of skillet bacon jam all the way from Oregon but I am still a bit skeptical of pureed bacon. Besides, wouldn’t it be better to pick up some tomatoes from the local greenmarket and make this sweet and savory version (no blender involved!) at home?
