Chipotle Peach Bacon Butter
On the first order I received I was asked among other things to make a "bacon thingy". This of course I was all about! My love of chiles shows through with the chipotle which also compliments the bacon with a touch of heat & smoke. You add the peaches & a little brown sugar........ damn good! I used Nueske's bacon because I love it, but feel free to use your favorite bacon.
*Note: quantity is by weight
2 # peaches (cored)
4 oz your favorite bacon
3 oz yellow onion
1 T EVOO
2 T brown sugar
1 T red wine vinegar
Dice bacon and onion. Cook in olive oil on medium until the fat is rendered out. Do not drain, fat is flavor! Then add the peaches. Simmer and stir until peaches are soft (about 20 minutes). Add brown sugar and vinegar and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
Add to a food processor. Run until smooth. Push through a mesh strainer. Enjoy on an english muffin, or maybe a ham sandwich........
