Ingredients
Method
- Place your grapes in a food processor or blender and process until completely pureed
- Transfer to a medium saucepan and add your strawberries, vanilla bean, and honey
- Place over medium/medium high heat and bring to a boil, stirring often
- Let your jam boil for 15-20 minutes ensuring you stir often as it starts to thicken
- Reduce your heat to low and let simmer, uncovered for 20 more minutes stirring occasionally as your jam continues to thicken
- To test to see if your jam is done, dip a spoon in your jam and place on a plate in the freezer for 5 minutes. If the jam thickened and didn't pour off the spoon, it is ready
- If your jam was not ready, continue to simmer on low until it is
- Once done, remove your pan from the heat and stir in the juice of 1/2 lemon
- You can also stir in your bacon bits right now if you are going to add them
- Let your sauce cool where it will continue to thicken
- Transfer to sterilized glass jars ensuring you leave at least an inch of space on the top if freezing and tightly secure lid
- Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks or freeze for a month. If you are into canning you can also follow that route for storage
- Each batch will net you a different amount depending on how long you let it simmer, this batch got me 12 ounces
Notes
I prefer to keep this in the freezer as the colder it is the better it tastes to me. Does anybody know why it doesn't freeze?
