Bacon Shallot Marmalade

Fry the bacon on medium high heat until it has released all its fat and become crispy. Set aside in a small bowl.

Sautée the shallots in the bacon grease until lightly carmelized. Once finished, add the shallots to the bowl with the bacon.

Deglaze the pan with the vinegar, salt, and pepper. Reduce the vinegar to approximately half the volume (so that a spoon passed through the pan leaves a clear streak). Pour the vinegar in with rest and mix well.
