A newer version of an old family recipe. My grandmother used Arak in this recipe but it had too much of a bite for me. I used dark rum instead. A wonderfull condiment on a cheese board or as an appetizer base spread on toasted bread or crackers.

- 1 Tbl clarified butter shopping list
- 1 Tbl Neutral Oil (I use Canola) shopping list

How to make it
- Heat 12 inch skillet on Med. Add oil, butter and bacon. Once bacon is rendered, stir in onion and brown sugar. Season with Salt & Pepper. Cover and cook approximately 10 minutes stirring occasionally.
- Remove lid and increase heat to Med High. Cook until onions are dark brown and quite soft stirring occasionally. Approximately 10- 15 minutes.
- Remove from heat, stir in water. Transfer to a food processoror blender. Add rum, vinegar and thyme. Pulse to achieve a jam like consistency. Transfer to a sealed container. Refrigerate 1 hr or up to 1 week.
- Serve as a base spread on a crostini or as a condiment on a cheese board.
