Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz bacon, chopped
  • 1/2 yellow onion, diced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup pitted dates, chopped

  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar

Instructions

  1. Using a medium pot, cook the bacon over medium heat until lightly crisp. Set the bacon aside and reserve about 2-3 tbsp of bacon fat in the pot.
  2. Add the onion and garlic and saute in the bacon fat for 4-5 minutes or until lightly translucent.
  3. Add the dates and apple and stir and mash for about 5 minutes. The apple should be soft and the dates well mashed.
